Well, it worked because it is a global parameter that sets the default for
the entire document. You will notice that all your paragraphs are
left-aligned now.
In my opinion, certain elements should always be left-aligned, and
glossterm is one of them because it fits inside a small area. If you want
to fix yours, you can customize the template that starts this way instead:
<xsl:template match="glossentry" mode="glossary.as.list">
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:list-item xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
<xsl:call-template name="anchor">
<xsl:with-param name="conditional">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$glossterm.auto.link != 0
or $glossary.collection != ''">0</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>1</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
<fo:block text-align="left">
....
I changed the last line shown to add the text-align property. This is the
block inside the left part of the list-block that contains the term and the
acronym, so now they will stay within the same block and not produce a line
break.
