variablelist.as.table boolean
variablelist.as.table Format variablelists as tables?

## Description

If non-zero, variablelists will be formatted as tables. A processing instruction exists to specify a particular width for the column containing the terms: dbhtml term-width=".25in"

You can override this setting with a processing instruction as the child of variablelist: dbhtml list-presentation="table" or dbhtml list-presentation="list".

This parameter only applies to the HTML transformations. In the FO case, proper list markup is robust enough to handle the formatting. But see also variablelist.as.blocks.

      <variablelist>
            <?dbhtml list-presentation="table"?>
            <?dbhtml term-width="1.5in"?>
            <?dbfo list-presentation="list"?>
            <?dbfo term-width="1in"?>
            <varlistentry>
              <term>list</term>
              <listitem>
                    <para>
                      Formatted as a table even if variablelist.as.table is set to 0.
                    </para>
              </listitem>
            </varlistentry>
      </variablelist>
