153.0. "<counter>(_list_level\+1)" by CLOSUS::AMEND () Wed Mar 25 1987 17:28

    I have a local Document style that I want to have the first
    list indented.  In baselevel 6 I had the following tag in
    the .gdx file:
    
    <counter>(_list_level\+1)
    
    In Baselevel 7 this does not work.  However, if I put the
    above tag in my .gnc file, it works.  The counter must
    get reset after reading the .gdx file or it has no effect.
    
    Is there a way to define this in the .gdx file.
    
    Thanks

Did you only want the very first list indented, or all lists indented
one more level then the default?  If the later is the case, you used to
be able to muck with something called \blockindent or some such thing
and could define the indenting to be used at each block level.  I think that
might let you do the later, although I wouldn't guarantee it.

    I think the problem is that something really fell through the cracks;
    I will investigate.

    What worked in BL6 and not in the current base level is that in
    BL6, the counter _list_level could be set to a value in a doctype
    definition file. This was used as the block indent at which the
    first list element would be set. (thus indenting lists a bit more
    than by default).
    
    It stopped working in GDX files and worked only in GNC files for
    BL7 because in BL7, the counter _list_level is reset internally
    at the start of pass2 (in case the list_level counter was left
    at some other value during pass 1). I have changed this so that
    the list_level counter is reset/reset using a constant value.
    Jim? I think this is what you meant?
    
    n.b. we are not documenting this level of stuff, at least not for
    the first release.
