Well, sbr isn't very useful outside of a command synopsis, which is the
only place where it is allowed by the DTD. There is no general line break
element in DocBook, but you could use a literallayout element which
respects line breaks.
Tabstop is a feature that is not defined in the XSL-FO standard. Tab
characters are converted
to white space, which is generally collapsed to a single space character
when there is more than one.
DocBook XML and XML in general are designed to separate content from
formatting. The formatting should be supplied by the stylesheet. Indents
are formatting and would not normally be encoded in the DocBook XML That
said, there are exceptions such as tables that let you specify column
widths and frame styles. Perhaps an example of what you are trying to do
would help.
Regarding keeping something together, that is an XSL stylesheet feature,
using a property keep-together.within-page="always" on the fo:block
containing the material. The DocBook stylesheet uses such a keep on formal
objects such as table, example, and figure.

Subject: [docbook] Explicit tab and if-neccessary-pagebreaks?
Hello,
I'm rather new to DocBook and I've got two little problems, I tried a
search
but didn't find anything, so I hope someone could help me :)
1) There's an explicit line break, <sbr/>, which is very useful, but is
there also some explicit tab available? Or better spoken, an explicit
indentation tag? I couldn't find anything like that; if it doesn't exist,
is
there some good workaround?
2) Is there any possibility to declare a certain textarea that should NOT
be
victim of a pagebreak, if possible? With other words, can an area be
defined
so that if a pagebreak would occur inside this area, the stylesheet would
insert a pagebreak BEFORE that area, so that it's more likely that the
area
is completely on one page and not broken?
Thanks in advance!
