docbook: Thread: Okay, variable list formatting probs

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
	<term><command>CAL</command></term>
	<listitem>
		<para>Client Access License.</para>
	</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para> &nbsp; </para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
	<term><command>CAL</command></term>
	<listitem>
		<para>Client Access License.</para>
	</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para> &nbsp; </para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
	<term><command>CAL</command></term>
	<listitem>
		<para>Client Access License.</para>
	</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para> &nbsp; </para>

This is the only way I can figure out how to insert a linebreak after 
each sentence.

But seriously, that is just simply too many tags for a simple structure.
Not only that, but there is the problem where I've got the <para>
inserting linebreaks everywhere like a madman. (Hence my previous
thread).

Is there a way to do this same structure:

TITLE
	Definition Sentence.

TITLE
	Definition Sentence.

-instead of-

TITLE

	Definition Sentence.


TITLE

	Definition Sentence.


Which it currently is right now.

Btw, what else can you use for <b> instead of <command> -- I have a
feeling that isn't the corrent tag.

Hi there,

From what I can see below, it looks like you need to wrap
<variablelist></variablelist> around ALL varlistentries, instead of
around each one individually (go ahead and remove all those paras and
nbsps while you're at it, you won't need 'em!).

Try it that way and see if it cleans up.  Let me know if you need any
clarification on the above!
