variablelist.as.table
Format variablelists as tables?
Description
If non-zero, variablelists will be formatted as
tables. A processing instruction exists to specify a particular width for the
column containing the terms:
dbhtml term-width=".25in"
You can override this setting with a processing instruction as the
child of variablelist: dbhtml
list-presentation="table" or dbhtml
list-presentation="list".
This parameter only applies to the HTML transformations. In the
FO case, proper list markup is robust enough to handle the formatting.
But see also variablelist.as.blocks.
<variablelist>
<?dbhtml list-presentation="table"?>
<?dbhtml term-width="1.5in"?>
<?dbfo list-presentation="list"?>
<?dbfo term-width="1in"?>
<varlistentry>
<term>list</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Formatted as a table even if variablelist.as.table is set to 0.

</listitem>
