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

Please take a look at
<informalfigure> also. The pgwide attribute doesn’t seem to work
there either, although it does work with <figure>. Not sure if that’s
a similar oversight.

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> ...

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?
