Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Odd formatting of lists

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net> was heard to say:
| I use DocBook 3.1, DSSSL stylesheets 1.70, OpenJade 3.1, Jadetex 3.10, and
| various PDF and DVI viewers.
| 
| Considering an example document such as
| 
| <variablelist>
|  <varlistentry>
|   <term>TERM</term>
|   <listitem>
|    <para>

You put the extra space in right here.

|     This term is really uninteresting but I need to make this text long
[...]
| What annoys me slightly is the extra space before the first line of the
| first paragraph ("This...").
[...]
| Any ideas?

All whitespace is significant in mixed content.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
