<para>In variablelists, the <sgmltag>listitem</sgmltag>
|
|
is indented to leave room for the
|
|
<sgmltag>term</sgmltag> elements. That indent may be computed
|
|
if it is not specified with a <sgmltag class="attribute">termlength</sgmltag>
|
|
attribute on the <sgmltag>variablelist</sgmltag> element.
|
|
</para>

<para>
|
|
The computation counts characters in the
|
|
<sgmltag>term</sgmltag> elements in the list
|
|
to find the longest term. However, some terms are very long
|
|
and would produce extreme indents. This parameter lets you
|
|
set a maximum character count. Any terms longer than the maximum
|
|
would line wrap. The default value is 24.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The character counts are converted to physical widths
|
|
by multiplying by 0.50em. There will be some variability
|
|
in how many actual characters fit in the space
|
|
since some characters are wider than others.
