Author mode - css behaviour in 11.1

[honyk]

Hello,

during testing the 11.1 version I've found the different behaviour of CSS styles in the 'no tags' view.

I have a modified style for indexterms in section titles:

Code: Select all

indexterm {

    display: block;

    font-weight: bold;

}

While the full tags mode looks quite the same (11/11.1):



No tags mode is different (11/11.1):


There is an extra space before the content (probably for the tag, but this is not present) and the space between inline is narrower.

I think this cannot be avoided by css styles and mainly this extra space at the beginning, visible also on different places makes strange gaps in the text.

Hello Jan,

The standard "docbook.css" was modified between the two versions, I think.
The following section, related to the "secondary" element, was introduced:

Code: Select all

secondary,

tertiary{

    padding-left:2px;

}

So there is no real space in the document there is just a gap obtained when rendering it.

If you want this gap to disappear you can add the following section to your custom CSS and see if it works:

Code: Select all

indexterm, 

secondary, 

primary, 

tertiary {

    padding-left: 0px;

}

Thanks for the tip, adding 2 px really solves the minor issue. But what about the 'major' one, the vertical indent?

I've found it everywhere when the original css value of the content:before property was set to empty by me: title/indexterm, note/para, footnote/para:

Code: Select all

footnote:before{

    display:inline;

    content: "";

    color:#333333;

    background-color:inherit;

}

In 11 version such the empty content wasn't displayed on the separate line in the 'no tags' view...

Hello,

The empty line that appears where the "title:before" content used to be may represent a regression from version 11. I added an entry on our issue tracker that will be analyzed by our development team.
We will let you know when it will be closed.

Thank you,
Iulian.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that we fixed the empty line problem. The fix will go in the next version of Oxygen Author, that is version 11.2.

Thanks for this info. Is there already any due date for this release? Can we count with weeks or rather months?

Hi,

11.1 has just been released in December 2009 so we're talking about a few months until 11.2 is released.
