Hi Paul, Thanks for the info. It looks great, but it doesn't work for me. No matter what I do the list items are formatted as normal paragraphs instead of having a hanging indent. It is not using the p_li style section at all. I even tried replacing the dtb: in the xpath expression with dtbook: because that is the document type I am working with. That did not work either. Where can you find the additional information in the XSLTs? I don't understand exactly what this means. Thanks again very much for your help.

Adapted from Bert Free's odt2braille. in sem file: p_li &xpath(//dtb:li/dtb:p) in cfg file: style p_li linesBefore 1 linesAfter 1 this will then apply the style properties to a <p> within a <li>. For more info on what to put in the () of &xpath refer to XSLTs. Hope this helps.

This overrides the <li> formatting of the text. John suggested that I use the xpath expression to get around this. I read what was in the documentation about this expression and still don't understand how it is used. Can anyone explain how the xpath expression works or give me practical examples? Thanks in advance for any help.
