[docbook] Re: [docbook-apps] FOP rendering orderedlists and itemizedlists

[Donna Robinson <donna at terpsichore dot ws>]

Hi,

I couldn't solve this either - I bet you are using passivetex?
I've mailed Sebastian about this, but he's away till end of next wk.
You're welcome to use my custom stylesheet (below), if it's any help.

Regards,

Donna
