Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: empty cells in tables

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Jens Hauptmann <Jens.Hauptmann@gmx.de> was heard to say:
| If I have empty cells in my tables - the resulting fo file seems to be
| invalid, since I get the FOP-Error:
| 
| "WARNING: Number of cell columns under table-row not equal to number
| of table-columns"

That's a FOP bug.

| The same behaviour occurs when I start my cells on a different column
| than the first.
| The work-around is simple: just filling up the missing cells with
| entries containing an empty Paragraph
| (<entry><para/></entry>).
| 
| Is this a bug or am I (or is FOP processing) wrong?

The stylesheets don't handle the namest attribute correctly.
