Re: [docbook] Looking for a "titled paragraph" DocBook element

Thanks for the pointer to the formalpara element. It does almost exactly what I want. I also see now that I made a mistake in my choice of words when describing what I exactly wanted with respect to the line break.

This is what I want:

Title of the paragraph in bold face
    This is the body of the paragraph to which the title corresponds.
    There is *a single line break* between the title and the paragraph
    body, and the body is indented to some arbitrary amount. The body
    uses a regular, plain font and the title uses the bold version of
    that same font.


When transformed into HTML format, this is what I got:



[begin bold] The title of the paragraph [end bold] The body of the paragraph immediately follows the title; as you can see, there is *no line break* between title and the paragraph body. Also, the body has not been indented. The body does indeed have the desired regular, plain font.



Is it possible to get the extra new line and the indenting (possibly by using an adjusted style sheet) ? If so I'd appreciate very much a pointer to some information that explains how to do that.



Thanks in advance,


Erik Leunissen
