Re: [docbook-apps] Listitem overwrites text in orderedlist

[Mark Craig <mark.craig@gmail.com>]

Hi Matteo,

Setting orderedlist.label.width, http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/orderedlist.label.width.html, seemed to help.

Setting that to 1.8em instead of the default 1.2em seemed to fix the problem for lists having a double-digit number of items, http://sources.forgerock.org/changelog/commons?cs=433, at least in my case.

Perhaps the exact setting will be different for you.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mark

Hi everybody,

I'm just learning, since 3 months, to use docbook and to write the stylesheets.
Now I have this problem: in the orderedlist of the FO the distance from the listitem to the text is not dynamic and if the listitem number (dot included) takes more space because it's made by 2 or more numbers (eg. 16. instead of 1.) it enters in the text space and "mixes" with it, in other words overwrites the text. I'm not able to find a property of the list block to arrange this problem, or (more probably) I'm using it in a wrong way.

I tried in these ways, but without success:

1)
<xsl:attribute-set name="list.block.spacing">
        <xsl:attribute name="space-after">20px</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

2)
<!--xsl:attribute-set name="list.item.label">
        <xsl:attribute name="margin-right">20</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set-->

3)(I've found this one in a website)
<xsl:attribute-set name="list.label.spacing">
        <xsl:attribute name="right">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="self::orderedlist">2em</xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>0pt</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set-->

I even tried with different properties of each attribute-set...
Have you ever had this problem? Do you have any suggestion?
