Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Re: qanda listings in html output
Hi, I think this is more of a browser problem than an HTML coding problem. Using <p> inside a table cell is commonly done, and should not create extra space at the top of the table cell. Only Firefox pushes the qanda number down to the second line. Neither Internet Explorer or Chrome do that. Does anyone know of any other browsers that have this problem? In general, Firefox handles a <p> in a table cell correctly, as you can see from the second column entries which all have <p> and display at the top of the table cell. Firefox seems to have a problem with the empty named anchor tags just prior to the <p> in the numbering table cell. If I delete the <a name> tags, then the numbering <p> formats at the top of its table cell. Since emtpy <a> tags should take up no space, I don't think the <p> should trigger a line break there in Firefox. If I move the named anchor tags inside <p>, they also don't trigger the line break. I don't see how to work around this problem with CSS. You could customize the template with match="question" to move the anchor tags inside the <p>. That seems to fix the problem in Firefox. This change could also be rolled into the distribution, as it should not have any other side effects.

Even after David's pointer to Bob's book I still think the paragraph label elements in html/qandssets is a bug. Bob does say you can customize the qandaset but one shouldn't have to do that for that label problem IMHO.
