# %default-variablelist-termlength%

## Name

%default-variablelist-termlength% -- Default term length on variablelists

## Synopsis

    %default-variablelist-termlength%

## Description

When formatting a `VariableList`, this value is used as the default term length, if no `TermLength` is specified.

If all of the terms in a list shorter than the term length, the stylesheet may format them "side-by-side" in a table.
