Ok, in that case you could adapt the formalpara/title template and use
it in processing your variablelists :-) It's certainly possible to do
that in your customization layer. The fact that the structure of a
varlistentry and a formalpara is slightly different won't stop you and
it would be a reasonble customization to use for learning a little xslt
(i.e. neither impossibly hard nor so simple that you wouldn't learn
anything).

Thanks David..
I've already looked at that.. I was just hoping that the
variablelist could be modified as the formalpara option would require us
to change all our variablelists to formal paragraphs.
I suppose we'll need to revisit our use of variablelists... L

Laurie.

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.
