RE: DOCBOOK: <*list> In or After <para>?

[David Cramer <david_cramer@broadjump.com>]

Actually, I do just that--close the para before the list, but I don't
like it for the reason mentioned previously in this thread: the list
often really is part of the para. 

I guess I was trying to say that I don't understand why the stylesheets
give you this: 

<p>Text. Text. Text.
<ol>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
</p>

Are there times when you really want that? ...Moments
pass...understanding of Norm's wisdom slowly enters my thick skull...ah,
I make the spacing before the list whatever I want with css:

P, OL 
{
       margin-top: 0.1in;
}

Never mind :)
