Re: [docbook-apps] Nested lists insensitive to "list.block.spacing" attribute set

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

Hi Erik,
Yes, that is intended behavior.  The list element templates have two 
attribute sets designed specifically for vertical spacing: 
list.block.spacing sets the vertical space before and after the whole list, 
and list.item spacing sets them for each listitem. The first items gets 
both.  Experience showed that adding the extra spacing in list.block.spacing 
to a nested list looked out of place, so that attribute set is not used for 
nested lists.  This information should appear on the reference page for that 
attribute-set, so I'll fix that.

However, the orderedlist.properties and itemizedlist.properties attribute 
sets are used on all levels of nested lists, so that's where you could put 
your margin-left attribute.
