There are clearly two styles. I don't think there's a right answer. Some people don't like blocks in paragraphs, so they write: <para>Consider the following program fragment:</para> <programlisting>...</programlisting> <para>It consists of...</para> Others recall their gradeschool english teachers definition of a paragraph and think those three things are all one thought so they write: <para>Consider the following program fragment: <programlisting>...</programlisting> It consists of...</para> With $html.cleanup=1 and an XSL processor that understands exsl:node-set, the markup comes out the same either way. Without the cleanup, the latter leads to invalid HTML. | If this topic should be moved to the docbook list then OK but | I am not currently subscribed to the docbook list, only the | docbook-apps so I would have to go and subscibe. Yes, it's probably a topic that belongs on the docbook list.
