variablelist.as.blocks — Format variablelist
s lists as blocks?
If non-zero, variablelist
s will be formatted as
blocks.
If you have long terms, proper list markup in the FO case may produce unattractive lists. By setting this parameter, you can force the stylesheets to produce block markup instead of proper lists.
You can override this setting with a processing instruction as the
child of variablelist
: <?dbfo
list-presentation="blocks">
or <?dbfo
list-presentation="list">
<variablelist> <?dbfo list-presentation="list"?> <varlistentry> <term>list</term> <listitem> <para> Formatted as a list even if variablelist.as.blocks is set to 1. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist>
