address is a verbatim element, ie displayed with line breaks and all
whitespace.
You have to write something like this:
...
<orgname>Adax, Inc.</orgname>
<address><street>614 Bancroft Way</street>
<city>Berkeley</city>, <state>CA</state> <postcode>94710</postcode>
<country>USA</country>
<email>sales at adax dot com</email>
<phone>510-548-7047</phone>
<fax>510-548-5526</fax></address>
</affiliation>
See http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/address.html for a better
explanation.

Betreff: DOCBOOK-APPS: default dsssl and off-center address
Hi all,
I'm just beginning to use docbook, and I love it so far. But I'm
having an annoying problem. In the <artheader> section, I specified an
author tag as follows:
<author>
<firstname>Ben</firstname>
<surname>Hartshorne</surname>
<affiliation>
<jobtitle>Network Support Engineer</jobtitle>
<orgname>Adax, Inc.</orgname>
<address>
<street>614 Bancroft Way</street>
<city>Berkeley</city>, <state>CA</state>
<postcode>94710</postcode>
<country>USA</country>
<email>sales at adax dot com</email>
<phone>510-548-7047</phone>
<fax>510-548-5526</fax>
</address>
</affiliation>
</author>
Pretty standard, right? Well, the output when I send it to PDF indents
the address section 5 spaces or something, except that the address is
also centered. This leads to it being just slightly off-center, which
looks absolutely atrocious.
You can see this at http://cryptio.net/~ben/not_centered.png
I need to figure out how to change this, and I have had no luck trying
to get through the dsssl sheets themselves. There is an variable
%indent-address-lines% that I set to #f, but it seems to have no effect.
Could you help me?
I am using the SGML stuff instead of the XML stuff I think, my document
header says:
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" [
I have the following packages installed (I'm running Debian):
