Bob,
Yeah, I agree...
My kludge was to insert an empty paragraph after admonitions that appear
within steps... now it looks fine but there's those silly empty elements
scattered throughout...

A procedure and its steps are processed as a fo:list-block and
fo:list-items. So any note in a step is wrapped in an fo:list-body
element. It appears that FOP and Antenna House do not respect the
space-after of the last item inside the fo:list-body. It works in XEP.
I think it should respect that space-after, since a list-item is a
normal block area, not a reference area like a table cell.

Ooops, small correction: not the nongraphical admonitions title,
the nongraphical admonition block itself...

Hi again...
I have customized the nongraphical admonitions title with
space-before and space-after attributes:
<fo:block
space-before.minimum="2.2em"
space-before.optimum="2.5em"
space-before.maximum="2.7em"
space-after.minimum="2.2em"
space-after.optimum="2.5em"
space-after.maximum="2.7em"
...
This spacing appears to come out perfectly when the admonition
occurs between ordinary paragraphs within a section. However, when they
are within a step element within a procedure element, there is very
little space after, just the ordinary space that occurs between one step
and the next.
How come this doesn't work? Does the space between steps
override any space-after settings of the last object within the step
element?
Thanks...
Alan
