[docbook-css] css enhancements for function prototypes

[Gaetano Giunta]

Hello

I have been doing a bit more tweaking to the css used tio style function definitions.
I solved the problem of adding line breaks to inline elements by switching thos elements to display-block

here's the new version of the css for funcsynopsis and funcprototye:

funcsynopsis>* {
	margin-left:10%;
	margin-right:10%;
}

funcprototype {
	display: block;
	text-align: justify;
	font-family:monospace;
}

The docbook 'chunk' for testing is:
        <funcsynopsis>
          <funcprototype>
            <funcdef>$myVal = new <function>xmlrpcval</function></funcdef>

            <void />
          </funcprototype>

          <funcprototype>
            <funcdef>$myVal = new <function>xmlrpcval</function></funcdef>

            <paramdef><type>string</type><parameter>$stringVal</parameter></paramdef>
          </funcprototype>

          <funcprototype>
            <funcdef>$myVal = new <function>xmlrpcval</function></funcdef>

            <paramdef><type>mixed</type><parameter>$scalarVal</parameter></paramdef>

            <paramdef><type>string</type><parameter>$scalartyp</parameter></paramdef>
          </funcprototype>

          <funcprototype>
            <funcdef>$myVal = new <function>xmlrpcval</function></funcdef>

            <paramdef><type>array</type><parameter>$arrayVal</parameter></paramdef>

            <paramdef><type>string</type><parameter>$arraytyp</parameter></paramdef>
          </funcprototype>
        </funcsynopsis>

I use it inside a sect2 > sect 1 > chapter
