I think you really want a list of formalparas but without bullets.
<itemizedlist mark="none">
<listitem><formalpara><title>Term</title><para>Definition of term
here.</para></formalpara></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Note that you don't need to add a period in the title. The xsls add it
for you. However, if you add a .!? or : the xsls don't add a period.
This behavior is controlled by the xsl params:
<xsl:param name="runinhead.default.title.end.punct" select="'.'"/>
<xsl:param name="runinhead.title.end.punct" select="'.!?:'"/>

Subject: [docbook-apps] variablelist styles
Hi,
I've been playing around with the variablelist styles to try and
figure out if there is a way to make the variablelist term and listitem
definition appear on the same line, but as if they run together.
I don't like the default vl.as.list style because we have
several long terms and I don't like the wrap behaviour of the
list-item-label which is independent to the list-item-body wrap
behaviour.
Currently I have the following behaviour using the list style:
Term. Definition for the term here.
Next Term. Definition for next term here.
Third Term Definition for third term here.
with a really
long title.
What I would like is:
Term. Definition for the term here.
Next Term. Definition for next term here.
Third Term with a really long title. Definition for the third
term here.
I am relatively new to XSL, so there is a lot about the way
things nest that I don't understand yet. What I want may not be possible
because of the listitem element, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Has anyone managed to create the behaviour I would like above?
Any suggestions or advice would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Laurie.
