Thanks Andreas.
It's not a problem with the style sheet. MS Word creates the empty
list.
Yes it is :)
If it is producing list-item-labels without content --at least an
empty block would suffice-- then the stylesheet should be altered. It
is resulting in FO that does not adhere to the rules in the XSL-FO
Rec, so it would be more reasonable to change the stylesheet.
Either it should create an 'empty' list-item, with both label and
body at least containing an empty block, or it should not create a
list-item at all.
Following is Microsoft's description of the listpr element. It doesn't
explicitly address empty lists. Therefore, I think my proposed
modification is reasonable. I'll read up on the FOP website about
how to
submit code changes for consideration and see what happens.
Hmm... We already allow table-bodies without child-nodes if strict
validation is turned off, so might as well add this. Not too much
harm, I guess.
But again, strictly speaking, it's the stylesheet that is in error
here and should be fixed.
Cheers,
Andreas
