Subject: dockbook style sheets // glosslist modification // tex backend From: Joerg Wittenberger <Joerg.Wittenberger@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 27 May 1999 17:06:32 +0200 |
Hello folks, I am fighting the docbook style sheets and didn't understand why I can't get the glosslist modified. After collecting all the background below I found that the rtf backend produces something more eligible. I guess it boils down to "paragraphs are completly broken within tables with the tex backend". But that means the whole table stuff is broken. Does nobody know a bit of a workaround? Thanks /Jerry The problem I have is that the glosslist wastes too much space at the paper. We need a more compact version. like that <b>term</b> decription is a bit indented <b>2nd term</b> etc what I tried was to overwrite (glossentry glossterm) and glossdef from dbgloss.dsl. This appearently has not the desired effect. for some reason I can't see it still produces much too much space. To debug the issue I've put some silly literals between the lines ("wie jetzt?", "Nanu" and "Schluss"). with the following I would expect to see no space at all around the glossterm, "wie jetzt?" 0pt below that term and "Schluss" 0pt below the last line as well as 0pt above the next term. (element glossentry (process-children)) (element (glossentry glossterm) (make paragraph space-before: 0pt space-after: 0pt font-weight: 'bold (literal "Nanu") (process-children))) (element glossdef (make paragraph space-before: 0pt space-after: 0pt start-indent: (+ (inherited-start-indent) (* (ILSTEP) 2)) quadding: %default-quadding% (literal "wie jetzt?") (process-children-trim) (literal "Schluss"))) Jades fot output does not really indicate something different, but I'm not sure - I don't know how inherited values are represented there. <display-group space-before="6pt" space-after="6pt" start-indent="48pt"> <paragraph font-weight="bold"> <a name="46"/> <a name="47"/> <a name="48"/> <text>Nanu</text> <text>S</text> </paragraph> <paragraph start-indent="68pt" quadding="justify"> <a name="49"/> <text>wie jetzt?</text> <paragraph space-before="5pt" space-after="5pt" first-line-start-indent="0pt" quadding="justify" hyphenate="false"> <a name="50"/> <text>Emergency (Notfall)</text> </paragraph> <text>Schluss</text> </paragraph> <paragraph font-weight="bold"> <a name="51"/> <a name="52"/> <text>Nanu</text> <text>A</text> In practice I see approximatly 20p (2 empty lines) between "NanuS" and "wie jetzt?" and another space of same amount before the next "NanuA".
