Re: [docbook-apps] table inside itemizedlist: spacing bug?

Hi John,
Yes, this is the right place to ask this question.  But I'm not able to 
duplicate your problem with the stock 1.69.1 stylesheets.  Are you sure 
your customization is using 1.69.1?  Can you test it with the stock 
stylesheets?

This is an old problem that was fixed prior to 1.68.0  You are seeing the 
start-indent property used on the fo:list-body being inherited by the 
fo:block's inside the table cells. But it should not be.  In fo/table.xsl 
in this template:

<xsl:template match="tbody">
  <xsl:variable name="tgroup" select="parent::*"/>

  <fo:table-body start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="row[1]">
      <xsl:with-param name="spans">
        <xsl:call-template name="blank.spans">
          <xsl:with-param name="cols" select="../@cols"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </fo:table-body>
</xsl:template>

Note the start-indent="0pt" on the fo:table-body element.  That is the 
start-indent that should be inherited by the cell content.  Can you peek in 
your fo output to see if it is there?  If not, then your customization is 
doing something to change it.  If it is there, then something else is going 
on.
