Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: DocBook: lists within lists
/ Brendan J Simon <Brendan.Simon@ctam.com.au> was heard to say: | > No one has ever asked for nested segmented lists, or lists | > within segmented lists. I don't recall if they are absent by | > design or oversight. Can you explain why you want to do this? | | What's so unusual about having a list within a list ? | A segmentedlist is no different to any other type of list, as far as I'm | concerned. Segmented lists are a bit odd, they're very nearly an alternate representation for tabular material. | I am new to DocBook and the structure of the segmentedlist seems a bit | unintuative to me. I probably am misusing it or misunderstanding the purpose | of the segmentedlist. Does http://docbook.org/tdg/html/segmentedlist.html help? | To me, all the different list types perform the same role, with a different | output style. Itemized and ordered lists have some of that flavor, but variable lists (definition lists), segmented lists, and simple lists are different. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | All the labors of the ages, all http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | the devotion, all the inspiration, Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | all the noonday brightness of | human genius, are destined to | extinction--Bertrand Russell
