[docbook-apps] Strange behaviour for nested, ordered lists?

[Steve Whitlatch <swhitlat at getnet dot net>]

I'm formatting nested lists for print like this:

      <para>
            <orderedlist numeration="arabic">
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                  <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
                     <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                     <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                     <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                  </orderedlist>
                </para>
                </listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para><orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
                     <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                     <listitem><para></para></listitem>
                  </orderedlist>
              </para></listitem> 
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
              <listitem><para></para></listitem>
            </orderedlist>
      </para>


That does what I think you want. 

Anyone know how to cause lists to be indented from the column margin? 

That would be:

   text . . .
   text . . .
   text . . .
   text . . .
   text . . .
   text . . .
       listitem_text . . . 
       listitem_text . . . 
          nested_list_item_text . . . 
          nested_list_item_text . . . 
          nested_list_item_text . . . 
       listitem_text . . . .
       listitem_text . . . .
   text . . . .
   text . . . .
