But when this is translated to PDF (by way of FO), I end up losing the content of each list item. It comes out looking like this: > > The component suffered from three failings: > > 1. > > 2. > > 3. > > 4. > > No, four. The component suffered from four failings. > > I am not sure whether the FO is good, i.e. whether the problem is with the docbook-xsl or FOP. Or perhaps this is not legal docbook at all? Perhaps listitems must always have paras in them, and docbook-xsl is too forgiving when translating to HTML? > > Toolchain: docbook-xsl-1.60.1 ; Libxml2-2.4.30.win32 ; Libxslt-1.0.23.win32 ; fop-0.20-5rc It's not legal DocBook. A listitem cannot contain plain text, it has to be in some text container element like para. The stylesheets are designed to work with valid DocBook files, and all bets are off if the file isn't valid. Use xmllint that comes with Libxml to validate your documents. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
