Well, a glossary isn't in a table. The current fo stylesheet puts a glossary in a fo:list-block, glossentries in a fo:list-item, the glossterm in a fo:list-item-label and the glossdef in a fo:list-item-body. So the fo output is already doing the equivalent of the variablelist. The label just isn't being handled properly by FOP when it is longer than its designated width. thanks for your response there are so many small issues with fop, that i have switched to passivetex for pdf generation cheers
DOCBOOK-APPS: change header in glossary xsl fo
hello i think i understood something wrong, hm i try to customize the header in my glossary, because for some reason, the title of the last chapter of my book is in there ?! seems to be a bug i think, normally the title of the glossary should appear in the header of a glossary, right? for testing it i put this in my custom.xsl: xsl:template match=glossary mode=running.head.mode xsl:texthello the running head/xsl:text /xsl:template but this has no effect on the pdf output thanks in advance, bernd

The running.head.mode outputs only chapter or appendix information in the current 1.51.1 fo stylesheets. If your glossary is a separate element following your last chapter (not inside the chapter), then it should have no running head at all. If it does, then that's a fo processor bug. If your glossary element is inside your last chapter element, then that explains why the running head is for the last chapter. Assuming you put your glossary as a sibling element after your last chapter, you still want the running head to show. It looks like adding the glossary to the list of elements with a running head is not that simple. You'd have to copy the entire template xsl:template match=chapter|appendix mode=running.head.mode from pagesetup.xsl to your customization file and then change the match to glossary, or perhaps to chaper|appendix|glossary if you plan further customizations of all the running heads. The reason the template is so long is that it outputs the fo:static-content elements and handles the left/right/center alignment based on the master page type. Or you could file an RFE on the DocBook SourceForge site to request that change for the next distribution. 8^) thanks for the fast response If your glossary element is inside your last chapter element, then that explains why the running head is for the last chapter. i also thought that this is the case, but it's a sibling do you have any suggestions about whats the best docbook xml to pdf method? either on win32 or unix i'm nearly finished with writing my thesis and can't get a proper pdf output i tried fop before, but there are other issues, regarding vector images fop seems to be unable to handle advanced svg drawings created with illustrator cheers
