426.0. "<ICON_TEXT> spacing problem with DOCUMENT V2.0-1" by DEMON::TEAL::DIBBLE () Fri May 10 1991 10:09

I'm using DOCUMENT V2.0-1 and am having a spacing problem when 
two icons appear on the same Bookreader "page."  Each icon text 
contains a clause followed by a list.  Way too much space is 
inserted in the second icon between the clause and the list.
If I split the same icons between pages, the spacing problem goes away.

Any ideas?  The source is included below.  If you'd like to copy the
book, copy from:

	DEMON::DEMON11:[CDA_SPI.SOURCES]TESTICON.DECW$BOOK
	DEMON::DEMON11:[CDA_SPI.SOURCES]TESTICON.DECW$BOOKSHELF

Thanks,
Jacki

This is a test to show how icon text spacing is different
when two icons appear on the same page.  Two tests are
shown:
<LIST>(UNNUMBERED)
<LE> Both icons on the same page
<LE> The same two icons but only one per page
<ENDLIST>

    Jacki,
    
    Give me pointes to your .SDML file(s) and the icon files.
