Hi,
This cannot be done with a fo:list-block. The basic problem is that the page breaks are determined by the XSL-FO processor, after the DocBook stylesheet has completed its work. DocBook stylesheet has no knowledge of where the page breaks are, and hence whether a given list is on a recto or verso page.

The only way I know to place content on the outside of alternating pages is to use an fo:float and use one of the XSL-FO processors that support an extension for specifying an "outside" float (XEP or Antenna House). Using a float, the paragraph would be in the main flow, and the term would be in a float embedded at the start of the fo:block containing the paragraph. See this reference for more information:

Subject: [docbook-apps] term at the right of listitem for recto pages


Dear all,

I use variablelist through my whole docBook XML file in order to get one layout like the following example:

                    SECT1 TITLE

Motivation          Hier is one paragraph about Motivation


Situation           Hier is one paragraph about Situation


                      Hier is another paragraph


(The code are listed at the end of this mail.) But in recto pages, I would like the following layout:

                           SECT1 TITLE

Hier is one paragraph about Motivation      Motivation


Hier is one paragraph about Situation       Situation


Hier is another paragraph


Could someone be so kind to tell me how to manage it?


(My code in docBook XML: )

<sect1>
<title> SECT1 TITLE </title>
<variablelist>    <?dbfo term-width="1.50in"?>

 <varlistentry>
   <term>Motivation</term>
   <listitem>
   <para>Hier is one paragraph about Motivation</para>
   </listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
  <term>Situation</term>
 <listitem>
   <para>Hier is one paragraph about Situation</para>
 </listitem>
</varlistentry>

  <varlistentry>
    <term></term>
    <listitem>
     <para>Hier is another paragraph.</para>
    </listitem>
  </varlistentry>

  </variablelist>
</sect1>


Thanks for any help!

Lily
