Listing linebreaking not working

Question

got a listing where the code include a very long sequence of characters (letters, numbers & other). With linebreak=true, the sequence gets broken at non-letter characters. However I still got a very long sequence of letters, that's not getting breaking down. With all other options, see code, the result is still the same.

\lstinputlisting[language=XML, breaklines=true, breakindent=0pt, breakautoindent=true, linewidth=\textwidth, breakatwhitespace=false,  caption=Respons.]{outlook/Vinden_kalender_item_antwoord.xml}

Working in writelatex.com.

vinden_kal ..., the problem is the t:ItemId tag At the + and /, the line gets broken down.

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us to help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 12:46
We don't know what's in outlook/Vinden_kalender_item_antwoord.xml so there is little we can do. — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 12:56
seriously, does every line need to have those gd 8 (or even 4) spaces?? Ahn finally worked — ContradictionOfPro, Aug 10 '14 at 13:06
A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it). — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 13:07
Good, know you just need to provide a minimal working example (MWE). — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 13:08
Almost none of this code is relevant to your problem. You need to produce a minimal working example (MWE). That's basic courtesy on this site. You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 13:41
No, not good. See our starter guide](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) and minimal working example (MWE). — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 14:41
Those guides tell me nothing about what's important. I understand that you need the meta around the problem, but I can't give it to you if i don't know what you need ... — ContradictionOfPro, Aug 10 '14 at 14:41
Your question seems to be about line breaks in listings, yet your code contains many lines that have nothing to do with that and doesn't even contain one listing. A good question should usually contain a minimal working example (MWE), i.e. code that is 1) minimal (contains only what's stricly necessary to explain the problem) and 2) compilable. Your code is neither. Unless you improve your question, you're unlikely to get an answer. — jub0bs, Aug 10 '14 at 14:47
\lstinputlisting = my listing, the code in the listing is also added, just like the meta data (packages etc); isn't it your job to create the answer? :s — ContradictionOfPro, Aug 10 '14 at 15:09
@ContradictionOfPro --- No, it isn't anyone's job to create answers. Users of this site provide help voluntarily. Your problems are most likely to be solved if you help the community to help you, by providing a MWE. — Ian Thompson, Aug 10 '14 at 21:15
Then you read the explanation in the link provided by @Jubobs. A MWE contains enough code to allow others to reproduce the problem and nothing more. It's really quite straightforward. — Ian Thompson, Aug 11 '14 at 10:40
Does this answer your question? Listings package does not break — user202729, Nov 10 '21 at 03:37

There is a solution which works with the example files you provided at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/65839/60451

The code

\makeatletter
\def\lst@lettertrue{\let\lst@ifletter\iffalse}
\makeatother

will make listings break lines at letter characters.

Thanks, but where do I have to set this? – ContradictionOfPro Aug 10 '14 at 16:11
Just somewhere; problem now is that my other lines (who were previously breaked nicely), now got broken somewhere . Example: a got a</ ENTER tag> now are a</ta ENTER g> – ContradictionOfPro Aug 10 '14 at 16:15
Ok. As a quick fix you could declare only "h" as other (breaking) character \lstinputlisting[... alsoother={h}]{outlook/Vinden_kalender_item_antwoord.xml}. This will affect other lines, though. – cmz Aug 10 '14 at 17:21
with only `alsoother={h}', the lines are broken down, but they are ugly as hell, but whatever, it worked TY :D – ContradictionOfPro Aug 11 '14 at 07:35
