Using DocBook (SGML) with the print version of the DSSSL stylesheets
and generating TeX output seems to be having problems turning off inline
elements in tables. For example, in a table I have:
<entry>Use the <command>adduser</command> program to create
new user accounts.</entry>
If I generate TeX, and convert that to PostScript, the PostScript file
looks as if I had written:
<entry>Use the <command>adduser program to create
new user accounts.</command></entry>
If I generate RTF, the RTF file, as viewed in Word, looks like as I
expect, with only "adduser" in a different font weight. This seems to
be happening with several elements, including command, replaceable,
and filename.
If I use the same elements, but as a part of a paragraph instead of an
entry, the elements are rendered as you would expect in PostScript (via
TeX) and RTF.
The tools:
DocBook SGML 4.1 / DSSSL 1.54 / Jade 1.2.1 /
TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159 / BSD/OS 4.1
I have a sample file that reproduces the problem with the stock DTD
and stylesheets.
Suggestions gratefully appreciated.
