RE: [docbook-apps] page-wide program examples
Thanks, Bob.

 

With FOP 0.93, the <?dbfo pgwide=”1”?>
processing instructions works within <example> but not within
<informalexample>. I don’t know why.

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

 

<informalexample>

<?dbfo pgwide="1"?>

<programlisting> ...

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?
