Hi David,
It sounds reasonable for those with long program listings, but maybe
not for those who don't.
I guess I would like to hear from more people on the list about
making this change. If a lot of people are relying on the default
keep setting for examples, then changing it will force them to update
their stylesheet to restore the keeps. If it is anywhere near half
that want the change and half that don't, then I can't see making the
change.
I have both long and short programlistings? 3 to 100 lines and more.
I think it rather judgemental to assume all docbook users
only have one or the other?
What if I proposed 'no para longer than 3 lines'? would
that sound sensible?
Thanks Dave,
I agree completely. If we put keep-together="always" on example, then
we're saying "examples must never span more than one page". If someone
volates this rule, the results are stop-ship ugly and the source of the
problem is confusing enough to puzzle even sophisticated DocBook users.
In addition to Dick Hamilton's OP regarding this, I know of users who
were shrinking the fonts of their programlistings and eneded up with
programlistings with unreadably small fonts! The default output should
be shipable at least.
David
