Subject: line break
Hello, I'm in the process of migrating my documents from Linuxdoc SGML to Docbook XML. In Linuxdoc SGML, I used <NEWLINE> at some points. I understand this does not exist in Docbook XML, so I'll have to use something else. Semantically, it is somewhat like a quote. I'm writing a story, and when I quote someone, I want to have a newline before the quote and quotes around the cite, just like usually in prose. For example: <para> They entered the room. <quote>It's dark here,</quote> Joe said. He was right. </para> This would be rendered somewhat like: They entered the room. "It's dark here," Joe said. He was right. With a <br /> tag in the HTML output. How do I achieve this? I tried to do: <literallayout> </literallayout> But this is rendered as a block, not inline, so I end up with empty lines before and after the line break, which obviously is not what I want. And it's ugly. The existing quote tag is rendered inline, without a newline prefixing it. Neither is phrase what I'm looking for. Does this exist in Docbook? yours, Gerrit. -- Weather in Twenthe, Netherlands 16/04 12:55: 19.0Ā°C Few clouds mostly clear wind 2.7 m/s SSE (57 m above NAP) -- Ervaringen met het Syndroom van Asperger: http://topjaklont.student.utwente.nl Socialistische Partij: http://www.sp.nl/
