Re: [docbook-apps] chapter title alignment

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Problem b) is that you want any rollover lines in the toc to be indented,
right?

You could use a fo:list-block for each line, putting the section number in
the
list-item-label and the title, leader, and page reference in the
list-item-body. Then
any rollover lines will line up under the title.

The solution to problem a) might be to experiment with the values of
end-indent
and last-line-end-indent.
