Hi Michael,

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.0/docs/

The FCL documentation for the DB unit has some formatting mistakes (pdf version of docs). In the PDF document, some code examples do not wrap, and simply go of the edge of the page. This happens onscreen and when printed. I used Adobe Reader, Evince and XPDF to view them, so it's not a viewer issue.

Some pages that are affected: 207, 208, 210, 255 etc..

Regards,

And rightly so, it should not depend on the viewer. Otherwise we could dump the whole PDF format.

This will require some work: these are the automatically generated definitions of the various structures.

Some lateral thinking will be needed to solve this one.

Michael.
