[docbook-apps] width of table-columns in html-output

[Ronald_Roessgen at msg dot de]

I've sent the following informations to discuss it in the 
DSSSList@lists.mulberrytech.com. 
There I've got the hint, that it looks like a bug and I should it report 
to this adress.

Best regards
Ronald

Hello,

I'm using the docbook-dsssl version 1.59 to translate sgml-files both to
rtf and html.

Now I want to update to the newer version 1.78, but an important feature
of the older version does not work yet in translation to html. Formerly I
could define the size of two table-columns in a predefined rate. E.g. I
defined the colwidth of the first column as colwidth="1*" and for the
second colums as colwidth="2*". As a result the table rows were shown in a
ratio of 33% to 67% of the whole window-size. The source code of the older
version's created html-files shows:

<CLASS="CALSTABLE">
<THEAD>
<TR>
<TH WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="LEFT">
<P> ... </P>
</TH>
<TH WIDTH="67%" ALIGN="LEFT">
<P> ... </P>
</TH>
</TR>
</THEAD>

and so on.

With dsssl-version 1.78  I will get a table, where the rows are nearly of
the same size. The generated html-source code looks like this:

<CLASS="CALSTABLE">
<COL WIDTH="1*" TITLE="COL1">
<COL WIDTH="2*" TITLE="COL2">
<THEAD>
<TR>
<TH>
<P> ... </P>
</TH>
<TH>
<P> ... </P>
</TH>
</TR>
</THEAD>

and so on.

Is it a bug or do I have to change something in the way of using? If so,
please tell me what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Ronald
