Re: [docbook] Nested ItemizedLists with IE and PDF
I think this is a bug in IE6. I wanted to see where the nested <div
class="itemizedlist"> was positioned, so I put a border on it:
<div class="itemizedlist" style="border: 1pt solid black;">
When I did that, the gap disappeared. I changed the color to white and it
looked fine. 8^) But adding a border should not change the spacing!
