Re: [docbook-apps] page-wide program examples

The latest stylesheets support a processing 
instruction inside example or informalexample:

 

<informalexample>

<?dbfo pgwide="1"?>

<programlisting> ...

Subject: [docbook-apps] page-wide program 
  examples

  

  

  
I’d like to have some program 
  examples extend the full width of the page in PDF output. I thought I could 
  put the <programlisting> elements within an <example> or 
  <informalexample> element, and set the pgwide attribute to 1 (which you 
  can do with tables and figures). However, <example> and 
  <informalexample> don’t support the pgwide attribute.

  
 

  
As a temporary workaround, I’m 
  inclined to put the <programlisting> inside a <table> or 
  <figure> and set the pgwide attribute.

  
 

  
Has anyone else found another 
  simpler way to create page-wide program examples?
