| 24 | <para>In variablelists, the <tag>listitem</tag>
|
---|
| 25 | is indented to leave room for the
|
---|
| 26 | <tag>term</tag> elements. That indent may be computed
|
---|
| 27 | if it is not specified with a <tag class="attribute">termlength</tag>
|

| 28 | attribute on the <tag>variablelist</tag> element.

| 31 | The computation counts characters in the
|
---|
| 32 | <tag>term</tag> elements in the list
|
---|
| 33 | to find the longest term. However, some terms are very long
|
---|
| 34 | and would produce extreme indents. This parameter lets you
|
---|
| 35 | set a maximum character count. Any terms longer than the maximum
|
---|
| 36 | would line wrap. The default value is 24.

|
---|
| 38 | <para>
|
---|
| 39 | The character counts are converted to physical widths
|
---|
| 40 | by multiplying by 0.50em. There will be some variability
|
---|
| 41 | in how many actual characters fit in the space
|
---|
| 42 | since some characters are wider than others.
