- Subject: [docbook-apps] before i forget, a summary so far
before all this starts to blur together, the observations over
the past day or so related to generating PDF via xsltproc and FOP:
<calloutlist>:
a <callout> does not handle multiple "arearefs" values very well --
apparently, the space allocated for the display of the callout bug
in the <calloutlist> is fixed and additional bugs associated with
the same <callout> are pushed to the next line after the first two.
<literallayout>:
it sure looks like the attribute text-align="start" should be added
to the attribute-set "verbatim.properties", unless there's a good
reason why it wasn't there in the first place.
<variablelist>:
to handle mono font terms, more space should be allocated for the
display of the term (already dealt with by bob s. in CVS).
there may be a hyphenation issue as well since, if you try to use
a gibberish term like "XXXXXXXXX", the result displayed is just as much
as will fit in the calculated space, and the rest is dropped to the following
line, with no hyphenation.
also, at least for me, trying to display two terms /bin and /usr/bin
for the same <varlistentry> produced the PDF output:
/bin,/
usr/bin
i have no idea where the intermediate space went.
i think that's everything so far.

p.s. and, all of this aside, is it true that xsltproc has the
aforementioned problem with merging attribute-set's?? i find that
hard to believe since it's such a critical feature. anyone know for
sure?
