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

Actually, it looks like it was added to example but 
not informalexample.  That's an oversight that I'll fix.

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> 
  ...

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?
