This is a problem of supported mark names. In the DocBook DTD, the 'mark' and 'override' attributes do not define a fixed set of names for marks. The stylesheet determines which mark names are supported. The mark names supported for the DocBook XSL stylesheets for HTML output are the same as those for the CSS property named 'list-style-type'. Those are 'disc', 'circle', or 'square'. The stylesheets also accept 'bullet' for 'disc', and 'box' for 'square'. Since 'opencircle' is not supported, you got the default mark. If you use mark='circle' instead, you should get the expected results. http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/HtmlOutput.html#ListVariations documents the list mark options in the stylesheets. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
