Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] kerning / tracking on nested ordered lists
Well, when I nest orderedlists, I get different formats for the numbers, such as 1, A, i, etc. You must be using a customization to get the stacked arabic numbers, right? In any case, I don't think tracking is the problem here. I think the problem is that XEP is trying to fit the wide number into a narrow space. The default width of the block for the number is 2em, and three digit numbers don't fit very well. I think you need to widen the space for the wide numbers. You can do that with a processing instruction in the nested orderedlist: <orderedlist> <?dbfo label-width="4em"?> Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Johnson" <cjohnson@capcollege.bc.ca> To: <docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 4:43 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] kerning / tracking on nested ordered lists > Hi, > > I'm noticing on PDF documents with nested orderedlists the list numbers > are looking "squished".
