This is caused by the <para> elements -- they get translated to <P> in HTML whether or not the list is specified as compact, and whether or not there are multiple <para> elements inside of a listitem. You can get around this somewhat by not specifying <para>, but this will generate a slew of errors, because <listitem>s cannot directly contain text. Unless there is another element that I am supposed to be using to contain the actual text in listitems that does not generate the additional spacing, the first <para></para> block inside of a listitem should not generate <P></P> output in HTML, since <LI> does not require it. This affects both itemizedlist and orderedlist. See http://bugs.debian.org/208046 for additional discussion and a proposed patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Norman Walsh (nwalsh) Date: 2004-10-22 22:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81663 Personally, I consider this a browser bug. However, you can work around it by using simpara in the listitem. This hack is already supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373747&aid=1038072&group_id=21935 |
