Bob,
Yeah, I agree... My kludge was to insert an empty paragraph after admonitions that appear within steps... now it looks fine but there's those silly empty elements scattered throughout...

So any note in a step is wrapped in an fo:list-body element. It appears that FOP and Antenna House do not respect the space-after of the last item inside the fo:list-body. It works in XEP. I think it should respect that space-after, since a list-item is a normal block area, not a reference area like a table cell.

I have customized the nongraphical admonitions title with space-before and space-after attributes: <fo:block space-before.minimum="2.2em" space-before.optimum="2.5em" space-before.maximum="2.7em" space-after.minimum="2.2em" space-after.optimum="2.5em" space-after.maximum="2.7em" ... This spacing appears to come out perfectly when the admonition occurs between ordinary paragraphs within a section. However, when they are within a step element within a procedure element, there is very little space after, just the ordinary space that occurs between one step and the next. How come this doesn't work? Does the space between steps override any space-after settings of the last object within the step element? Thanks... Alan Alan C.
