Subject: Re: kerning / tracking on nested ordered lists
>>> Chris Johnson 06/28/2004 10:10:19 AM >>> Hi Bob, Thanks for your reply - is there a reference for processing instructions, both html and fo? Another approach would be to modify the template that processes the list, where the width of the block would be calculated from the length of the string... would this be worthy of an RFE, or has this not come up before? (you must remember, this is an *academic* policy document...)

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".
