Re: [docbook-apps] Nested ordered list number not spaced properly?

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

The widths of the space for the number in a list are a fixed value set by 
the orderedlist.label.width stylesheet parameter, so when the number expands 
with inheritnum, there isn't room for it.  You can increase the space for a 
given list using a processing instruction like this:

<itemizedlist>
<?dbfo label-width="0.25in"?>
  <listitem>
  ...

See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ListSpacing.html#ListHorizSpacing for 
more information.

Regarding inheritnum on the HTML side, it seems it isn't supported in the 
stylesheets.  I think that's because the HTML side uses the <ol> list 
element in the output, and it does not support nested number inheritance. 
The orderedlist and listitem templates would have to be rewritten to use 
<dl> lists with hardcoded numbers if inheritnum is used.  I would consider 
this a bug, so you could file a bug report on the SourceForge site to get it 
fixed in future releases.

Regarding the namespace warnings, those come from processing a DocBook5 
document with the stylesheets written for DocBook 4.  For the DB4 templates 
to match, the document namespace has to be stripped off.  You could instead 
use the namespace-aware version of the XSL stylesheets that are available 
from SourceForge as docbook-xsl-ns-1.73.2.  Those are the same but recognize 
the DocBook namespace and don't generate such warnings.
