Yes, when someone says "variablelist" they literally mean that. And they
also literally mean "definition list" because *they are the same thing*.
Even the documentation for DocBook's <variablelist> says it is the same
thing
(http://opensource.bureau-cornavin.com/crash-course/variablelist.html)
"The variablelist is similar to an HTML definition list. It is used when
you have a list of terms and definitions."
Well I guess if I knew enough DocBook I would have known that ;-) I
understand now... I was looking at this from the HTML/XHTML POV.
So ... are you unhappy with the way they're rendered in the CSS? Do you
have a better suggestion? Care to submit a patch?
Very unhappy. I won't bother with a patch now. Instead here's what I
have in mind:
<http://boost.redshift-software.com/development/exemplar.html> The list
of markup styles (Heading 4) is a classic definition list. And for
comparison... Current:
<http://www.boost.org/doc/html/InputIterator.html>
Classic:
<http://boost.redshift-software.com/doc/release/doc/html/InputIterator.html>
Without the forced italic style, and column like spacing, one can see
the style for of the "term" itself (bold in the later, but I just
noticed that and I might remove the bold). If that is more to peoples
liking I can go change the CSS directly.
Deeply befuddled,
Aren't we all ;-)
