I have name=\text{citizen voter type} as part of a glossaries entry. When I use it in my text it faithfully reproduces that but sometimes one would expect and want it to be split to two lines. It does not do that. I goes into the right margin to continue the whole thing when if I type "citizen voter type" it puts citizen on one line and voter type on the next.

Any suggestions on how to let glossaries know it is okay to split at least this entry?
Thanks, ds

I always wonder why people expect others to have crystal balls.
Would you know what in my code suppress a line break if I gave you
only such a vage description?

Why are you using \text ? This is an AMS maths command, and puts the
text in a (n unbreakable) box. So it's doing exactly what you've told
it to do.

UNIX enhancements aren't.
