Hi,
The space before the first para in a step normally comes from this template
in fo/lists.xsl:
<xsl:template match="procedure/step|substeps/step">
...
<fo:list-item xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.item.spacing">
The space specified in the "list.item.spacing" attribute-set is used instead
of "normal.para.spacing".
Putting the space properties on the fo:list-item ensures that the step
number (in the fo:list-item-label) and first para in the fo:list-item-body)
have the same space above so they line up.
I'm curious under what circumstances this arrangement was not working for
you. When I add normal.para.properties to that fo:block as you did it has
no effect. If it did work, wouldn't it put it out of vertical alignment
with the step number next to it? What XSL-FO processor and version are you
using?

Subject: [docbook-apps] first <para> in <procedure><step> does not get
"normal.para.spacing" attribute
Hi list,
one of my colleagues found that the first <para> does not get
"normal.para.spacing" attribute in <procedure><step> when we convert
to fo. The reason seems to us that the first <para> is handled in
env/xsl/docbook-xsl-1.73.2/fo/lists.xsl:309
without use-attribute-set, but all other <para> is handled by
env/xsl/docbook-xsl-1.73.2/fo/block.xsl:34
this was same for 1.74.3, the latest we could get.
attached patch seems to fix the problem but we aren't sure that it is
the way to go. please check.
best regards,
