docbook: Thread: problems with and tags

Hi,

I'm having trouble with errors with the above tags using docbook2html to check 
my sourcefile. the following is my usage:

 	<para>
        <itemizedlist>
                <listitem>
                        example listitem
                </listitem>
	</itemizedlist>
	</para>

...and I get the following complaint:

jade:/home/jhs/doc/sgml-xml/processed/webcam(ModifiedDC)_2.sgml:681:3:E: 
character data is not allowed here
jade:/home/jhs/doc/sgml-xml/processed/webcam(ModifiedDC)_2.sgml:682:12:E: end 
tag for "LISTITEM" which is not finished

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance, 
hs

Plain text is not allowed as a child of listitem. This works:

<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
example listitem
</para>
</itemizedlist>
</para>

I no longer have lists in Finnish HOWTO but I'm quite sure this works.

Yes, it does work, thanks. Only the list comes out with spaces between each 
entry, which is less aesthetically pleasing (at least to my eye). Is there a 
different tag I can use instead of <itemizedlist> for better formatting?

Thanks!

This is a style problem, not a tag issue, but try:
   <itemizedlist spacing="compact">
