Hi Dave,
This isn't a case of import precedence, but of different attributes. In general, the
qualified attributes (like space-before.optimum) take precedence over the
non-qualified attributes (like space-before). I wish the DocBook XSL stylesheets had
not been written using the qualified attributes in some of the attribute-sets, because
if you want to override the space before, you need to override all three of the
qualified attributes for it to have any effectc.
BTW, was that a typo in your example? Your attribute-set says space-before="5mm" but
the resulting xsl-fo has space-before="0pt", but I don't see where the 0pt might have
come from.

Subject: [docbook-apps] itemized list, and import precedence
I have
import docbook stylesheets
import my attribute sets
in which I have
<xsl:attribute-set name="list.block.spacing">
<xsl:attribute name="space-before">5mm</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-after">5mm</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
The resulting xsl-fo shows
<fo:list-block
space-before.optimum="1em"
space-before.minimum="0.8em"
space-before.maximum="1.2em"
space-after.optimum="1em"
space-after.minimum="0.8em"
space-after.maximum="1.2em"
space-before="0pt"
space-after="5mm"
>
I.e. the
space-before is set twice?
I'm guessing it's an import precedence issue... but I don't know
what the precedence is... and Mike Kays book only talks about
nested importing?
1. Which takes precedence please?
2. My basic problem is that I need to reduce the space-before/space-after
each list-item?
Any suggestions please? I want it to be the same as basic para's, i.e. line-height
16pt.
TIA
regards
