Double-spacing <para/>

[dnedrow]

I'm using a customization to handle a number of default parameters and formatting isntructions.

One thing I need to do is double-space paragraphs (<para/> only). Using the following double-spaces <para/>:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:attribute-set name="normal.para.spacing">

        <xsl:attribute name="line-height">2.4</xsl:attribute>

    </xsl:attribute-set>

Unfortunately, it also double-spaces the children of <para/>. Is there a way to limit my double spacing to just <para/> without including children?

Aha. I found a post by Bob Stayton that gives a work around for this.

Code: Select all

    <xsl:template match="para[not(ancestor::footnote|ancestor::bibliography)]">

        <fo:block line-height="2.4">

            <xsl:apply-imports/>

        </fo:block>

    </xsl:template>

The only drawback is that it requires providing a specific "override" for the elements you don't want double-spaced (eg. footnote and bibliography above).
