+
+<para>In variablelists, the <sgmltag>listitem</sgmltag>
+is indented to leave room for the 
+<sgmltag>term</sgmltag> elements. That indent may be computed
+if it is not specified with a <sgmltag class="attribute">termlength</sgmltag>
+attribute on the <sgmltag>variablelist</sgmltag> element.
+</para>
+<para>
+The computation counts characters in the 
+<sgmltag>term</sgmltag> 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.
+</para>
+<para>
+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.
