I can think of two possibilities:
- a problem with the Unicode to FOP Entities conversion channel, possibly removing the <br> characters
- a problem with the FOP instructions. I have tried adding linespace-treatment="preserve", white-space-treatment="preserve" to the
<fo:block padding="0mm"
margin="0mm">
$CMS_VALUE(#content)$
</fo:block>
, but this hasn't helped.
Here is the PDF channel for the Table Section Template: (we are not using the table format template, I think)
