The reply/question is really more appropriate for docbook-apps. I notice
that when I have
<para>
Text. Text. Text.
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Text of list item one.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Text of list item two.
...
Using Norm's xsl stylesheets, in the html output, I get:
Text. Text. Text.
1. Text of list item one.
2. Text of list item two.
However, in the fo/pdf output, it does what I would expect and prefer:
Text. Text. Text.
1. Text of list item one.
2. Text of list item two.
This happens even now matter how I set spacing.paras.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
David
