Re: [docbook] Sidebar without title



Hi Claudio,

That space is caused by the first para element 
in the sidebar, which generates an fo:block that looks like this:

 

<fo:block space-before.optimum="1em" 
space-before.minimum="0.8em"
space-before.maximum="1.2em">para in 
sidebar</fo:block>

 

So to handle the case of para first in a sidebar, 
you could add a template like this to your customization layer:

 

<xsl:template 
match="d:sidebar/*[1][self::d:para]">
  
<fo:block>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

This matches on the first child element of sidebar 
if it is a para element, and then does not apply the 'normal.para.spacing' 
attribute-set to its block.  If you are using the non-namespaced 
stylesheets, omit the d: namespaces prefixes.

Subject: [docbook] Sidebar without 
  title

  

I'm 
  working on a  file with sidebars that do not have title and I would like 
  to produce a PDF file. Someone knows how to format the sidebars without having 
  a blank line in the place of the title?
