 variablelist.max.termlength
 Specifies the longest term in variablelists
 

 
 
 24
 
 

 

 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.
