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. | |
29 </para> | |

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. | |
37 </para> | |
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. | |
