Space before and after section title

Hello,

I'm trying to modify the space before a section title
(about twice of  
the title font size) and after the title (the minimum
available).

I used something like that :

	<xsl:attribute-set
name="section.title.properties">
		<xsl:attribute
name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-before.minimum">30pt</xsl:attr
ibute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-before.optimum">25pt</xsl:attr
ibute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-before.maximum">20pt</xsl:attr
ibute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-after.minimum">12pt</xsl:attri
bute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-after.optimum">12pt</xsl:attri
bute>
		<xsl:attribute
name="space-after.maximum">12pt</xsl:attri
bute>
	</xsl:attribute-set>

But the result is not really what I expected. I would like
that :


this is the last line of a para.


The title of the next para (which will be 1.2*para font size
and bold)
The first line of the next para.

How can I do that ?

Thanks in advance,
Jacques

Jacques,

I think what's going on is that the space between a section
title and the following elements is determined by both the
sapce-after.xxx values in section.title.properties and the
space-before.xxx values for the following elements.  For
example, if the first element after the title is a
paragraph,
then the normal.para.spacing attribute set's values for
space-before.xxxx also apply.

I was able to get the effect you are after by adjusting
space-before.xxx in normal.para.spacing and space-after.xxx
in section.title.properties (try making them 0pt).  You'll
also need to play around with the space-after.xxx values
in normal.para.spacing, unless you want no spacing between
paragraphs.

It will probably take some tweaking, but I think you can
get what you want by playing with those values.
