RE: [docbook-apps] Admonition spacing
Ooops, small correction: not the
nongraphical admonitions title, the nongraphical admonition block itself…

Hi again…

 

I have customized the nongraphical admonitions title with
space-before and space-after attributes:

 

<fo:block            

         
space-before.minimum="2.2em"

         
space-before.optimum="2.5em"

         
space-before.maximum="2.7em"

         
space-after.minimum="2.2em"

         
space-after.optimum="2.5em"

         
space-after.maximum="2.7em”

          …

 

 

 

This spacing appears to come out perfectly when the
admonition occurs between ordinary paragraphs within a section. However, when they
are within a step element within a procedure element, there is very little
space after, just the ordinary space that occurs between one step and the next.

 

How come this doesn’t work? Does the space between steps
override any space-after settings of the last object within the step element?

 

Thanks…

Alan
