RE: [docbook-apps] Monospaced digits

Lillian,

 

The only way I can think of to do this would be use a monospaced

font for the toc numbering. Character spacing is a property of

the font itself.

 

This section in Bob Stayton's XSL book describes how to customize

lines in the TOC:

Looks to me like you could either set the font in toc.line.properties,

which would give you the same font for the entire toc, or modify

the toc.line template if you want a monospace font for the numbers,

but a different font for the rest of the toc.

 

Hope that helps.

Hi,

When dealing with numbers in tables is there a way to set the type in DocBook so that the numbers are displayed "monospaced" instead of "proportional spaced"? More specifically, the numerical label in the table of contents.
