[Quick&dirty translation by xmleditor-support] I would like to separate the terms from their definitions when printing DocBook variablelists. In order to do that, I've set the value of attribute "termlength" to "0". [End of translation] > Il s'avere que le formatteur -> PDF ou ->PS dispopnible dans votre > version pro boucle indefiniment. [Quick&dirty translation by xmleditor-support] When I do this, the PS/PDF formatter included in your Professional Edition happens to loop forever. [End of translation] We do not include *any* XSL-FO formatter in our Professional Edition. Here's an excerpt of http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/plugins.shtml: --- Disclaimer: except for the XFC, APT and Javadoc[TM] plug-ins for XML Editor which are entirely the work of XMLmind (therefore these plug-ins are professionally supported by us), XMLmind has created all the other plug-ins (Batik, Jimi, FOP, XEP) in the hope they are useful, but makes no claim about their quality or their usefulness. It is important to understand that XMLmind is just responsible of the integration of these third party tools in XML Editor (a very thin layer indeed) and that these plug-ins should not be considered as being part of our product. --- > Amusant non ? [Quick&dirty translation by xmleditor-support] Funny isn't it? [End of translation] It depends on your sense of humor. --- PS: If you *always* want to see variablelists formatted like above, I would suggest to change a parameter in the DocBook XSL style sheets. This parameter is "variablelist.as.blocks" and it must be set to value "1". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/docbook_xsl/doc/fo/variablelist.as.blocks.html Personally, I've added these specifications to my ~/.xxe/addon/customize.xxe to achieve this: --- <parameterGroup name="docb.toPS.transformParameters"> <parameter name="variablelist.as.blocks">1</parameter> </parameterGroup> <parameterGroup name="docb.toRTF.transformParameters"> <parameterGroup name="docb.toPS.transformParameters"/> </parameterGroup> --- I've attached a ready-to-use customize.xxe to this email. ----- PS 2: Render XEP does *not* loop forever when termlength="0". However, the DocBook XSL style sheets does not seem to properly support termlength="0" and therefore, the resulting PDF is very ugly. (But everything works fine with variablelist.as.blocks=1) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
