Re: [docbook-apps] first <para> in <procedure><step> does not get "normal.para.spacing" attribute

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

Hi,
I think you are saying you do not want the text indent on any paras inside a 
step. If so, you can make that attribute conditional in the attribute set as 
follows:

<xsl:attribute-set name="normal.para.spacing">
  <xsl:attribute name="text-indent">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="ancestor::step">0pt</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>10pt</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Now no paras inside a step will have a text-indent.

I'll take a look at the patch you provided to add normal.para.spacing to the 
first para.
