RE: [docbook-apps] how to force some line spacing

["Billard, Trish" <trish.billard@hp.com>]

If you're using a CSS stylesheet (for HTML output), you can specify a margin for all ordered list items in your output:

ol li { margin-bottom: 1.5in; }

The potential drawback is that ALL ordered list items will have this margin.  You won't be able to choose by list or by item using this method.

How about an literallayout with N empty lines?
