             Summary: Quirky xmldoc description wrapping
                 Key: ASTERISK-25527
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-25527
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 13.6.0, 11.20.0
            Reporter: Walter Doekes


Example, the output of {{core show application Dial}} says:
{noformat}
timeout
    Specifies the number of seconds we attempt to dial the specified
^-- 68 columns
    devices
    If not specified, this defaults to 136 years.
options
    A(x):
        x - The file to play to the called party
Play an announcement to the called party, where <x> is the prompt to be played
^-- 78 columns
{noformat}

Because of quirky behaviour, word wrapping feels random.

Expected output:
{noformat}
timeout
    Specifies the number of seconds we attempt to dial the specified devices
^-- 76 columns
    If not specified, this defaults to 136 years.
options
    A(x):
        x - The file to play to the called party
Play an announcement to the called party, where <x> is the prompt to be played
^-- 78 columns
{noformat}

The (soon to be) attached patch fixes it. And deletes lots of nasty code. It could certainly be improved still:
* not copying the data one char at a time
* taking escape sequences into account when counting back 30 characters
But for now this is better than it was.
