Re: [docbook-apps] first <para> in <procedure><step> does not get "normal.para.spacing" attribute

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
The space before the first para in a step normally comes from this template 
in fo/lists.xsl:

<xsl:template match="procedure/step|substeps/step">
    ...
    <fo:list-item xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.item.spacing">

The space specified in the "list.item.spacing" attribute-set is used instead 
of "normal.para.spacing".
Putting the space properties on the fo:list-item ensures that the step 
number (in the fo:list-item-label) and first para in the fo:list-item-body) 
have the same space above so they line up.

I'm curious under what circumstances this arrangement was not working for 
you.  When I add normal.para.properties to that fo:block as you did it has 
no effect.  If it did work, wouldn't it put it out of vertical alignment 
with the step number next to it?  What XSL-FO processor and version are you 
using?
