Thanks, Bob, for the explanation. After I read your mail I realized that
my "book" contained <variablelist>s - formatted as block as well. But here
the spacing was ok. So I compared what was going on in glossary.xsl
compared to lists.xsl.
The lists use the list.item.spacing attribute set. Using that for the
glossary helped already. So I changed that in my glossary.xsl. The other
point is, probably, a bug: the apply-templates within the
"glossentry/glossdef" template did not specify mode="glossary.as.blocks".
So the subsequent template which treats the first paragraph in the
glossdef different did not come into effect.
In short: the attached patch (against version 1.61.2) makes the glossary
look fine for me. Shall I post that as a suggestion on the SourceForge
site ?
