makeinfo --docbook: itemize

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello,
 I tried the cvs version of makeinfo and it seems the docbook output
with images is fixed. What I notice on the output of an itemized list is
the fact that there are two bullets for each item. I don't know if
dbtoepub adds an additional bullet, but I see that makeinfo --docbook
adds per item list:

</listitem><listitem><para>• Item3
</para>

which looks to have a superfluous bullet (but I'm not a docbook expert).

regards,
Nikos

Indeed, I tested some outputs and also yelp, all had a superfluous bullet.
I'll try to fix that.

To continue on that it seems the xml output of the itemized list could
be improved. The previous test.texi generates:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>• Item1
</para>
</listitem><listitem><para>• Item2
</para>
</listitem><listitem><para>• Item3
</para>
</listitem></itemizedlist>

but this would actually be expected:

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>Item1</para></listitem>
<listitem>Item2</para></listitem>
<listitem>Item3</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

i.e. the <para> is not there.

regards,
Nikos

I guess you wanted to write

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>Item1</listitem>
<listitem>Item2</listitem>
<listitem>Item3</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

But it is invalid docbook, docbook requires a paragraph (or
a similar container) in <listitem>.
