Verbatim "breakanywhere" doesn't have any effect with a markdown using fvextra package converted to a pdf with Pandoc

Question

I'm generating a pdf from a markdown file that begins this way :

---
header-includes:
- \usepackage{fvextra}
- \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Highlighting}{Verbatim}{breaklines, breakanywhere, commandchars=\\\{\}}
title: "Geomatique"
subtitle: "web mapping"
author: Marc Le Bihan
geometry: margin=2cm
fontsize: 11pt
classoption: fleqn
urlcolor: blue

wget https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/decoupage-administratif-communal-francais-issu-d-openstreetmap/

When I'm generating it with a pandoc command :

pandoc geomatique.md -o geomatique.pdf

I stumble upon lines not completely broken, even if breakanywhere is sat.

You can see the arrow → and the line break at space just after wget, that shows that Pandoc has taken into account the Verbatim directive, but the second part of the command isn't separated correctly.

and if I copy and paste some text on the generated pdf, it appears incomplete, some part being lost :

wget https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/decoupage-administratif-communal-francais-issu-d-openstr

instead of

wget https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/decoupage-administratif-communal-francais-issu-d-openstreetmap/

Answer 1

The lack of line breaks is caused by the way Pandoc implements syntax coloring. This is done by wrapping each token in the output in a \XXXTok command, with a long list of different types of tokens that are printed in specific colors. The urls in the question are a single token that get wrapped into a \NormalTok command:

\FunctionTok{wget}\NormalTok{ https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/midi-pyrenees-latest-free.shp.zip}

The \NormalTok command is defined as:

\newcommand{\NormalTok}[1]{#1}

So it just returns the argument without coloring. However, the grouping prevents fvextra from performing line breaks within a token. This doesn't lead to problems when the tokens are short, which is typically the case for programming code, but with long tokens such as urls it does not work.

Ideally the solution would be to switch off the generation of \NormalTok somehow in Pandoc, given that it does not actually do anything and it causes these issues, however that does not seem to be possible.

Alternatively you can redefine \NormalTok to something that does break automatically. One possibility is to use \texttt with the hyphenat package, as described in How to get long \texttt sections to break. Note that this only works if there are hyphens in the lines, but that is the case in the example.

You can also switch off the arrow character and the indentation using the options breaksymbol= and breakanywheresymbolpre=.

MWE:

header-includes:
- \usepackage{fvextra}
- \usepackage[htt]{hyphenat}
- \let\NormalTok\texttt
- \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Highlighting}{Verbatim}{breaklines, breakanywhere, breaksymbol=, breakanywheresymbolpre=, commandchars=\\\{\}}

wget https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/decoupage-administratif-communal-francais-issu-d-openstreetmap/
```

Result:

Note that when you copy the code from the pdf the line break is also copied, which means you cannot paste it directly into a terminal, i.e., you first need to remove the line break by pasting it in a text editor window for example. However, this is unavoidable with pdf output I think.

Answer 2

fvextra v1.5 (2022/11/30) adds a new option breaknonspaceingroup that inserts line breaks within groups. This can be used to enable breaks within Pandoc's token macros.
