rhl-cg(EN)-7.3-HTML-RHI (2002-04-05T14:34-0400)

in the Introduction, "2. Document Conventions" area, pages xi and xii

There seems to be an extraneous space or minor indentation leading several
paragraphs. This same indentation is not present in the Red Hat 7.2
Customization Guide. It doesn't seem intentional.

These items are listed in a variablelist which intentionally produces
the format (I hope this is displayed correctly):
item
      description
item
      description



Comment 2 Ward Fenton 2002-04-10 16:41:31 UTC
I understand that the intended format is like below:

item
      description
item
      description

and this is how things looked in the 7.2 printed manual.

what I was reporting is that there is an extra leading space or indentation at
the beginning of "description" paragraphs...

Ok. I understand what you are saying now. What browser are you using?
I don't see the extra space in Mozilla or Netscape.

Comment 4 Ward Fenton 2002-04-10 18:02:14 UTC
hmmm.. well I was giving page numbers for the PDF.

I don't see any issue with that exact page from the html version when running
lynx or konqueror either.

The strange spacing shows up however when viewing the pdf in acrobat or with xpdf.


Comment 5 Tammy Fox 2002-04-10 18:13:38 UTC
Ok. I understand even more now. This is due to a formatting problem.
I have fixed it for the next release. Thanks for catching this!
