Re: [docbook-apps] Ordered list and line alignment in pdf-files

Hi,

What you are seeing is that each of the 
list-item-label and list-item-body blocks are aligned to the top of the row (the 
"before" side). Normally that isn't a problem because both parts are text.  
But when you added the inline graphic, that line became taller, so the text no 
longer aligns.

 

The solution is to add a relative-align="baseline" 
property to each fo:list-item.  The easiest way to do that is with this 
attribute-set, which is applied to each fo:list-item:

 

<xsl:attribute-set 
name="list.item.spacing">

  <xsl:attribute 
name="relative-align">baseline</xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>

 

I can't think of a reason why this should not be 
the default setting for these lists.  Unless someone objects, I'll add it 
for the next release.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Ordered list and 
  line alignment in pdf-files

  

  
Hi,

  
 

  
I'm trying to include inline images (small icons) to a step-list using 
  DocBook XML V4.5, docbook-xsl.1.75.1 and XEP (4.16) to produce 
  pdf-files.
The problem I experience is that the text row is aligned below 
  the baseline of the digit in the ordered list.
The image is aligned with 
  the baseline of the text.

Is there any way to come around this problem? 

  
 

  
FO and xml-source attached below.

  
 

  
Best regards,
Claes
