Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Odd formatting of lists
I use DocBook 3.1, DSSSL stylesheets 1.70, OpenJade 3.1, Jadetex 3.10, and various PDF and DVI viewers. Considering an example document such as <variablelist> <varlistentry> <term>TERM</term> <listitem> <para> This term is really uninteresting but I need to make this text long enough that it becomes two lines. </para> <para> This might be a second paragraph. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> This gets formatted like this: TERM This term is really uninteresting but I need to make this text long enough that it becomes two lines. This might be a second paragraph. What annoys me slightly is the extra space before the first line of the first paragraph ("This..."). This problem really exists with the other list types as well, though it's a bit less obvious there, e.g, itemizedlists looks like this: 1. This is some really long and boring paragraph to demonstrate this formatting problem. 2. This is another one, though shorter. I looked at the DSSSL code and I think someone's messing up the indentation calculations, because it should be neg. indent. of first line | /----------\ [line field][first line of paragraph] ^ [second line of paragraph] | ^ | | | display group's indentation | left edge Apparently, a line field of width X is wider than an indentation of width X. This is the only problem area I could guess at, because paragraphs outside of lists look fine. Any ideas? -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter
