Re: [docbook-apps] FO problem: Indentions / Layout settings for glossary, bibliography and index entries?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

For your glossary, you might try setting the glossterm.width parameter to 
equal your body.start.indent.

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/glossterm.width.html

For the bibliography, you will have to do more extensive customization, 
because biblioentry is not formatted as a list.  You'll need to customize 
the template with match="biblioentry" in fo/biblio.xsl to create a 
fo:list-item instead of a fo:block, with the biblioentry label in the 
fo:list-item-label and the rest of it in fo:list-item-body, with the whole 
bibliography wrapped in fo:list-block.

For index entries, you can add attributes such as space-before to the 
attribute-set named index.entry.properties:

> Headline                  Body text
> glossterm1    glossdefinition1

> I would prefer the following arrangement (Headlines, glossterms,

> glossdefinitions and biblioset informations all with the same text

>
> Headline        Body text
> glossterm1    glossdefinition1
> [bibID1]         biblioset information1

> Also I would like adjust the spaces between the index entries, so they
