<p>If non-zero, <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/variablelist.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">variablelist</code></a>s will be formatted as
blocks.</p>

<p>If you have long terms, proper list markup in the FO case may produce
unattractive lists. By setting this parameter, you can force the stylesheets
to produce block markup instead of proper lists.</p>

<p>You can override this setting with a processing instruction as the
child of <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/variablelist.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">variablelist</code></a>: <a href="../pi/dbfo_list-presentation.html"><code class="sgmltag-xmlpi">&lt;?dbfo
list-presentation="blocks"?&gt;</code></a> or <a href="../pi/dbfo_list-presentation.html"><code class="sgmltag-xmlpi">&lt;?dbfo
list-presentation="list"?&gt;</code></a>.</p>

<p>When using <code class="literal">list-presentation="list"</code>,
you can also control the amount of space used for the <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/term.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">term</code></a>s with 
the <a href="../pi/dbfo_term-width.html"><code class="sgmltag-xmlpi">&lt;?dbfo term-width=".25in"?&gt;</code></a> processing instruction,
the <code class="sgmltag-attribute">termlength</code> attribute on <a href="http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/variablelist.html"><code class="sgmltag-element">variablelist</code></a>,
or allow the stylesheets to attempt to calculate the amount of space to leave based on the 
number of letters in the longest term.
