I disagree. Under what circumstances do you think that anyone would want a bullet on a line by itself?

I think Kindle acctually shows it correct. The instruction <li> <p> Text </p> </li> basically says: first make a list item then a paragraph and then the text. Best regards, Lars 2011/10/29 Jon Rosen <jon.ro...@ucirrus.com<mailto:jon.ro...@ucirrus.com>> To be clear though, this is a problem with the mobi browser rendering of list items that are wrapped in <p> tags, not docbook. The rendering of a <p> inside an <li> should NOT put the dot on a separate line. I tested this in Firefox and IE. The <p> tag adds some spacing above and below the line, but the dot remains on the first paragraph line.

The problem is that DocBook stylesheets wrap content of listitem in <p> (because originaly it was <para> in DocBook). The easiest way how to fix this is to postprocess generated XHTML files and remove <p>s inside <li>. I'm using attached XSLT transformation (inspired by code provided by Adam Witwer originaly).
