- Subject: DOCBOOK: manpages in DocBook
Good Morning,
I am trying to write some manpages using DocBook 4.1.
Based on examples I have found, I am using a variable list to
iterate the command line arguments.
i.e.
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>-v</term>
<listitem>
<para>Print the version</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
This works great when I do docbook2man or db2html.
What doesn't work very well is when I do a db2pdf. The entries ignore
all previous
indentation and the "-v" starts out on a line completely left
justified.
i.e. if I use a REFSECT1 with a title of OPTIONS, i get something that
looks like:
OPTIONS
-v
Print the version
I am using /docbook/utils-0.6.9/docbook-utils.dsl on a redhat 7.3 box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
