Re: [docbook-apps] Generated epub to mobi - lists are incorrectly displayed

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@googlemail.com>]

Hallo Jirka,

thanks. This also looks like a great solution. I think the suggestion from Robert is easier for my toolchain as I only have to change the customization layer and not have an additional step. But your suggestion is great as it shows options how to further influence the result.

How to you separate the step XHTML and EPUB creation? I believe the epub XSLT stylesheets do this in one step?

Best regards, Lars

The problem is that DocBook stylesheets wrap content of listitem in <p>
(because originaly it was <para> in DocBook). The easiest way how to fix
this is to postprocess generated XHTML files and remove <p>s inside
<li>. I'm using attached XSLT transformation (inspired by code provided
by Adam Witwer originaly).
