variablelist.max.termlength — Specifies the longest term in variablelists
In variablelists, the listitem
is indented to leave room for the
term
elements. That indent may be computed
if it is not specified with a termlength
attribute on the variablelist
element.
The computation counts characters in the
term
elements in the list
to find the longest term. However, some terms are very long
and would produce extreme indents. This parameter lets you
set a maximum character count. Any terms longer than the maximum
would line wrap. The default value is 24.
The character counts are converted to physical widths by multiplying by 0.50em. There will be some variability in how many actual characters fit in the space since some characters are wider than others.
