The automatic setting for the width of terms (the indent of variablelist listitems) is based on the maximum width of the term elements in a variablelist. In this case, each term is small, so the automatic width is small, leading to a small indent and the odd line break. You might try setting the term width for this list. See: http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html#ListIndents On the other hand, I would rather see multiple term items be stacked rather than printed as a comma-separated list. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
