RE: [docbook] Adding an icon to each defined <term>

["David Cramer" <dcramer@motive.com>]

This is an alternative approach. I was in a similar situation where the
users wanted checklists. Rather than customize the fo and html xslts, I
added a preprocessing step that converted <itemizedlist
role="checklist"> into something like this:

  <variablelist>
	<?dbfo list-presentation="list"?>
	<?dbfo term-width=".25in"?>
	<?dbhtml list-presentation="table"?>
	<?dbhtml term-width=".25in"?> 
	<title>Understand the Device Manager environment</title> 
	<varlistentry>
	  <term>
		<inlinemediaobject>
                 <imageobject>
                    <imagedata fileref="./common/checkbox.gif"/>
                 </imageobject>
            </inlinemediaobject>
        </term>
	  <listitem> 
		<para>Understand the main deployment types. </para> 
	  </listitem>
	</varlistentry>  
....

So the existing fo and html xslts work as-is. However, you do have to
add the preprocessing step to your build that converts the itemizedlist
to the variablelist, adds the inlinemediaobjects, the Pis, etc. In your
case, that step might do the autonumbering as well.
