Subject: Re: [docbook] Defintion list
Hi Aidan, If I understand correctly, I think what you want is the Variablelist element, like this: <variablelist> <listentry> <term><ulink>a</ulink></term> <term><ulink>b</ulink></term> <listitem><para>Some description for a and b</para></lisitem> </listentry> <listentry> <term><ulink>c</ulink></term> <listitem><para>Some description for c</listitem> ... that by default that will display as: a, b Some description for a and b c Some description for c I think. Anyway, there is a parameter you can set to toggle it between being rendered as a list or as in table form. There is no parameter for having the word "and" rendered between "a" and "b". It just generates a comma-separated list of the terms. Which seems like what you'd want, in most cases. --Mike Aidan Lister <aidanis@gmail.com> writes: > Hi, > > Is there any element to adequately represent a dd/dl/dt list? > > I have something like this: > > <ulink>a</ulink> and <ulink>b</ulink> - Some description > <ulink>c</ulink> - Some description > <ulink>d</ulink> - Some description > > Rather than chuck each line in a paragraph I'm hoping there's docbook > markup I can use.
