I notice that Quickbook converts paragraph-level lists into <programlist> elements in Docbook rather than the <itemizedlist> and <orderedlist> elements that I was expecting. This causes my text to be rendered a bit like code--preformatted with some syntax highlighting.
I suspect you're indenting your list. The top list items' asterisks have to be the first character on the line. Quickbook interprets indented text as a code block.
Also, Quickbook list markup nested within table entries are treated as ordinary text. I know I could escape Boostbook markup instead, but my lists contain Quickbook links that I would rather not figure out how to hand-code.
Currently you can't use block markup inside a table so you either have to use escaped boostbook markup or a block template (which can contain a list and be expanded in a table, it's an awkward way to do things though). Daniel
