DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: Simple lists

[Phillip Shelton <shelton at usq dot edu dot au>]

Umm, nope.  I will submit I am looking at the RTF output.

I get exactly the same result with and without the <para> wrapper.
<listitem> starts a new paragraph with a hanging indent and <simplelist>
starts on a new line after that and still has the hanging indent, which is
why the first 5 chars are not seen, for each of the rows.  In fact, if you
drop the <para> wrapper I would like the <simplelist> to start on the same
line as the <listitem> does and not add the extra line if that were
possible.

For reference that is DSSSL 1.73 and Docbook 4.1.2 and Jade.

<offtopic>Is FO a display language in a similar manner to Docbook being a
semantic language?</offtopic>
