RE: [docbook-apps] Removing newlines between <para>s

["Forsyth, Emily B." <emily.forsyth@swri.org>]

I am having an issue with lines between para.I need the line starting with Inserts the string....to be on the line right under the bolded para.  This is functions.
Here is my example:
<para><emphasis role="bold"><literal>void insertByName</literal> </emphasis><para>
<para>Inserts the string strToInsert offset places
          from the the string anchor. A zero offset inserts the string just
          ahead of the anchor string. A negative offset inserts further
          towards to start of the array. No value is deleted and the order of
          the values following the inserted one does not change.</para>

I can get it to work by using the following:

<para><emphasis role="bold"><literal>void insertByName</literal> </emphasis><sbr/>
Inserts the string strToInsert offset places
          from the the string anchor. A zero offset inserts the string just
          ahead of the anchor string. A negative offset inserts further
          towards to start of the array. No value is deleted and the order of
          the values following the inserted one does not change.</para>

However, I get the validity of element "sbr" from namespace not allowed in this context, but it works for me.  Will there be problems in the future.

I tried the linegroup, however it indents, but works the way I would want it to but don’t want the indention.

Thank you,

Hello Stefan!

For me, this empty line appears even before any conversion, I can see it in XMLMind: see the same file in
Notepad++ - https://i.imgur.com/MmacVZc.png
XMLMind DocBook Editor v. 7.0 - https://i.imgur.com/zTjEdSw.png Also visible in XMLMind 5.3.0.

And btw, if you create an informaltable with XMLMind, the paras inside will be saved on the same line, as in the first row. For these screenshots, I had to manually insert a line break in the second row to reproduce the problem.

For conversion, I use stylesheets 1.78.1, FOP 1.1, not sure which version of xsltproc.exe with xslt 1.0.

As suggested by Bob, I will send him my stylesheets to check them. But if this is already visible before any conversion, I'm not sure it can help...

Anyway, the problem in our system is being solved with scripting, so this investigation is just to know if this additional empty line is the expected behavior.

Hi Ekaterina,

from your response to Bob, I finally understood your problem...
this sounds like a bug. However, I can't reproduce this here; not with HTML and not with FO output. Spacing is exactly the same in between same-line paras and para with a line break in between.

However, the space between the paras is indeed a bit large but that should be easy to fix with FO attributes/CSS.

Screenshot from my PDF: https://i.imgur.com/Y1hHwYC.png (Input paras on the left as a screen, output on the right.)

I used the following tools: Upstream XSLT 1.0 DocBook 5.0 Stylesheets 1.78.1, xsltproc/libxml 2.9.4, and FOP 2.1. I also verified that our profiling scripting does not interfere by reformatting XML.

So, not sure what happens in your toolchain, but I guess something is different.

Stefan.
