Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Does "measurement-to-length" works bad?
/ "Juan R. Migoya" <> was heard to say:
| The "measurement-to-length" function in the lib/dblib.dsl file of
| the Docbook DSSSL distribution works with an associative list.
| It seems that the program always look for unit in uppercase (CM, MM
| and so on), but the list is is lowercase (cm, mm, ...). So it always
| defaults
| to "1pi".
| The easier workaround is to duplicate each element of the list in this
| way:

What makes you say that it looks for the unit in uppercase? They're
all lowercase in my list.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
