Subject: RE : [docbook] Any way to do an indented ("prose") paragraph?
> I'm trying to find a way to mark a paragraph so that the > first (and only the > first) line is indented, like you see in normal prose. Isn't it more a presentation than a semantic question ? So do I, I like indent the first line of paragraphs. For HTML output, when <p/> are clearly paragraphs, you can say in CSS p {text-indent:2em} that means, give a tab of 2 char height on first line. The FO solution is less trivial. If you are using the Norman Walsh XSL, the CSS snippet upper could have undesired effects, because the html <p/> is widely used for other reasons than semantic (fast way to have margins in non CSS old browsers). An easy workaround is to add a role attribute on your <para role="indent"/>. If you are lucky, the output could be <p class="indent"/>, matched by the css rule p.indent {text-indent:2em}. But don't complain on this list if you are not so lucky (I haven't tested before talking), to change the morman.walsh.xsl is a docbook-apps topic.
