As it stands today, there is a usability problem with formalparas--the reader is forced to figure out if the paragraph that follows a formalpara belongs to the formalpara or not. The processing instructions (http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/formalpara.html) for formalpara do not suggest that formalparas should be visually set apart (e.g., indented, etc.,) from other paras in the output. Although it is quite clear that run-in title and para that immediately follows the title belong together, there is nothing to suggest how to interpret the following paras (and other elements). The reader (and the writer) must figure out whether or not the paras following formalparas belong to the formalpara or not. This problem exists even if the writer uses formalparas "properly" and does not intend the paras following the formalpara to belong to the formalpara.
Then think of the semantics from the reader viewpoint when he|she is blind, or using tactile media or audio. formalpara has one para is easy(ier) to keep in the head. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
