RE: [docbook-apps] nested lists being displayed incorrectly

["David Goss" <dgoss@mueller-inc.com>]

Hi,

The nested list needs to have a <listitem> as a parent, not the top
level list, like this:

<orderedlist>
	<listitem>It declares the document to be XML by indicating a
version and an encoding.</listitem>
	<listitem>It defines the root element for our document (book)
and the following additional elements
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem>The default namespace;  the default
type of document we are using (docbook) along with its namespace
address</listitem>
			<listitem>The namespace for xlink (used to
create hyperlinks) with its namespace address</listitem>
			<listitem>The version of Docbook we are
using</listitem>
			<listitem>The default language for the
document</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	</listitem>
	<listitem>The structure for the rest of the document: title for
the book, author information and a sample chapter for us to work
with</listitem> </orderedlist>
I just tested and it works fine fine.

(Yay! I was finally able to *give* help on this list! :) )

Subject: [docbook-apps] nested lists being displayed incorrectly

I am working with the following nested lists 

<orderedlist>
	<listitem>It declares the document to be XML by indicating a
version and an encoding.</listitem>
	<listitem>It defines the root element for our document (book)
and the following additional elements</listitem>
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem>The default namespace;  the default
type of document we are using (docbook) along with its namespace
address</listitem>
			<listitem>The namespace for xlink (used to
create hyperlinks) with its namespace address</listitem>
			<listitem>The version of Docbook we are
using</listitem>
			<listitem>The default language for the
document</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
	<listitem>The structure for the rest of the document: title for
the book, author information and a sample chapter for us to work
with</listitem> </orderedlist>

Is the syntax correct?


When transforming the file to XHTML and FO it is swapping the order of
the lists in the resulting document. Below is the result in HTML using
the 1.76 styelsheets downloaded late last week

<p>The skeleton of the file does a few things for us:</p>

		<div class="orderedlist">
			<div class="itemizedlist">
				<ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
					<li class="listitem">The default
namespace; the default type of document we are using (docbook) along
with its namespace address</li>
					<li class="listitem">The
namespace for xlink (used to create hyperlinks) with its namespace
address</li>
					<li class="listitem">The version
of Docbook we are using</li>
					<li class="listitem">The default
language for the document</li>
				</ul>
			</div>
			<ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
				<li class="listitem">It declares the
document to be XML by indicating a version and an encoding.
				</li>
				<li class="listitem">It defines the root
element for our document (book) and the following additional elements
				</li>
				<li class="listitem">The structure for
the rest of the document: title for the book, author information and a
sample chapter for us to work with
				</li>
			</ol>
		</div>

I get the same result if I use the snapshot stylesheets when building
epub3 and if I change the orderedlist to an itemizedlist. .
