  • 1.  dbfo processing instructions

    I can't see any evidence – in the appearance of my PDFs or in the
    intermediate FO files – that my dbfo PIs are being processed.

    For example, my understanding of the following (adapted from Stayton, *DocBook
    XSL*, 3rd edn 2005, p274)

    <para>Now is the time for all good men</para>

    <para>to come to the aid of the
    party</para>

    is that the former para's background colour will be inherited and the
    latter's will be pink.

    Is there some way in which I might have disabled the processing of PIs?

    Thanks in advance

    The background-color PI applies to graphics only.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I see I had taken dbfo PIs to be more general
    than they are.

    Here is a better example of my problem, taken directly from Stayton.

    <sidebar>


    <para>A sidebar can be used to emphasise…</para>
    </sidebar>

    With or without the dbfo PI, the width of the sidebar remains 1in, as set by
    the sidebar.float.width parameter.

    Best
    Stephen
