How make it display the entire contents of the normal?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

When the contents of the <p> paragraphs in the html code are too long, How can I make it display the entire contents of the normal? No artificial add tags,eg: <br>. I tried to use css to limit the maximum length, and automatic word wrap, but it still can not.

test case:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import xhtml2pdf.pisa as pisa

pisa.showLogging()

def dumpErrors(pdf, showLog=True):
    if pdf.warn:
        print "*** %d WARNINGS OCCURED" % pdf.warn
    if pdf.err:
        print "*** %d ERRORS OCCURED" % pdf.err

def testlong(src="example.html", dest="example.pdf"):
    pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(file(src, "r"), file(dest, "wb"))

    dumpErrors(pdf)
    if not pdf.err:
        pisa.startViewer(dest)

if __name__=="__main__":
    testlong()

the example html code:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
        <title>test</title>
        <style>
            body{
                font-family: 'Gilles';
            }
            .testdiv {
                width:100%;
                max-width:500px;
                word-break:break-all;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="testdiv">
            <p>
 "sdfsdfsdfffffffffffffffffffffffffffwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwggggggggggggggggggggggggpppppppppppaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzxxxxxxxccccccvvvvvvvbbbbnnnnnnnnmmmmmkkkkkkkkllllll"
            </p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

the Pdf display is like this:

"sdfsdfsdfffffffffffffffffffffffffffwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwggggggggggggggggggggggggpppppppppppaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzxxxxxxxccccc

@vuonghv try to use property

    -pdf-word-wrap: CJK;

It helped me. I could find this only in the source code, there is no documentation for this for some reason.
Notice that word may be broken at any character, as in word-break: break-all;
