The reply/question is really more appropriate for docbook-apps. I notice that when I have

<para> Text. Text. Text. <orderedlist> <listitem> <para> Text of list item one. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> Text of list item two. ...

Using Norm's xsl stylesheets, in the html output, I get:

Text. Text. Text. 1. Text of list item one.

2. Text of list item two.

However, in the fo/pdf output, it does what I would expect and prefer:

Text. Text. Text.

1. Text of list item one.

2. Text of list item two.

This happens even now matter how I set spacing.paras.

Is there something I'm missing?

I think I'm not seeing what you are saying it's wrong. Is it the presence of the blank line before 1. in fo/pdf output?

If it is, you shouldn't count on it.

The HTML output should be something like:

<p>Text. Text. Text. <ol> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> </ol></p>

And that's exactly what you've said up there.

I'd say if you want to always have the output like what you get with fo/pdf, write:

<para>...</para> <*list> <listitem>...</listitem> <listitem>...</listitem> </*list>

Then your HTML will be:

<p>...</p> <ol> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> </ol>
