Hi Stuart,
To answer your questions first: the orginal docbook does not show this
alignment problem. It uses docbook-xsl-stylesheets v1.74.0. For
asciidoc, I use a2x and the latest mercurial tip, so the stylesheets
associated with this version.
I could eventually see the difference.
In the original docbook, the text in each callout-list item is
enclosed in a <para/> element, i.e. we have <td><p>item description</
p></td> instead of <td>item description</td>.
in docbook.conf, section [listtags-callout], I replaced
text=<simpara>|</simpara>
by
text=<para>|</para>
and the result seems correctly aligned. I don't know what docbook
expects best here. para or simpara ?
Anyway, the default asciidoc stylesheet makes the line height very
high, and I'd like the callout list to be more compact. Here is the
addition I made to docbook-xsl.css:
div.calloutlist p {
margin: 0;
}
There is not "customization" done by the original docbook css, but
there is no margin added to standard elements, which is reflected in
those elements eventually in asciidoc and makes the alignmen problem
well visible.
Am I going in the right direction ?
Thanks for your hints,
Lionel
