    Hello,

    this might be the wrong list to ask the following question, if that is the
    case I'm sorry.

    I'm generating epubs via Docbook and the epub XSLT stylesheets. If I convert
    them to mobipocket for the Kindle lists are incorrectly displayed.

    • Hello


    The dot is in one line and the text in another. Screenshot attached.

    I tried kindlegen and Calibre.

    Anyone know how to solve this?

    Best regards, Lars

    The problem is that DocBook stylesheets wrap content of listitem in


    (because originaly it was <para> in DocBook). The easiest way how to fix
    this is to postprocess generated XHTML files and remove

    s inside

  • . I'm using attached XSLT transformation (inspired by code provided
    by Adam Witwer originaly).

    To be clear though, this is a problem with the mobi browser rendering of list items that are wrapped in

    tags, not docbook.

    The rendering of a

    inside an

  • should NOT put the dot on a separate line. I tested this in Firefox and IE. The

    tag adds some spacing above and below the line, but the dot remains on the first paragraph line.

    Hi Jon,

    I think the browsers may have accepted that people do this and try to give a
    good display. I think Kindle acctually shows it correct. The instruction

  • Text

    • basically says: first make a list item then a
    paragraph and then the text.
