RE: expected table format for pdf output


Hi Jeff

I have also had trouble with tables.
E.g. Using FOP, you have to define at least the colwidth
attribute (assign it a fixed value).

My solution was:

<formalpara id="toolbar_main">
  <title>Main Toolbar</title>
  <para>
    <informaltable frame="none">
      <tgroup cols="16" align="justify">
        <colspec colwidth="0.7cm"></colspec>
        <colspec colwidth="0.7cm"></colspec>            
        <colspec colwidth="0.7cm"></colspec>
        .....
        ...

I don't know how Openjade handles that.

best regards,

(-:hris
