Disable wrap of <value-of> in PDF

I need to disable a wrapping (line breaking) of <VALUE-OF> element in text element. I have a long text element (multline text), inside this element there is a dynamic part <VALUE-OF>myJavaObj.myMethod()</VALUE-OF>. The result of myMethod() is a currency value formated according to application locale. It must not be splited with line break, it should be placed on new line if too long.
How to do it?

Jozef,

I don't know that there's a way to do that. You may have to put a break in the text element right before the dynamic text every time to handle this.

Hi Michael,
we patched the BIRT, because there was no other way to disable word wrapping on characters like apostophe or dot. Now the string "1'234'567.99" is not being splited apart.

Jozef,

Excellent. Glad you got it working. How you went about doing this may be a good post for the devShare, if you have time.
