Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Inline customization problem


Hi John,
I'm not sure what you are seeing.  When I cut and pasted your example into a
para, and then processed it using docbook-xsl-1.66.1, xsltproc and XEP 3.83,
I get the word "function" in bold monospace, and the word "parameter" in
bold italic monospace.  Based on the way the templates are written, that is
what I would expect.  The userinput template wraps the content in a
fo:inline and sets the font-weight="bold".  The replaceable template wraps
the content in a fo:inline and set the font-style="italic".  Since those are
separate properties, they don't affect each other.  Can you send me a short
FO file that illustrates the problem?
