It turns out that the print style sheets I'm using are some vintage of yours, but the html ones are of some other lineage. Your new html ones work great. Small details like lots of lines of jade:/home/tgl/SGML/dbhtm09.d/docbook/html/dbtable.dsl:343:17:E: invalid value for "attributes" characteristic might be due to my overuse of unnecessary attributes in my table sources, and I'll strip them down to the minimum soon. My initial tests were led astray my misuse of your new stylesheets. Thanks for the pointers. The print tables still have a peculiar appearance, probably due to my misuse. In the example included at the end of this message, I get something like Table 1-1. Supported Platforms DECstation 3000 Alpha AXP OSF/1 2.1, 3.0, 3.2 ... Architecture Processor Operating System Where I would like Table 1-1. Supported Platforms Architecture Processor Operating System DECstation 3000 Alpha AXP OSF/1 2.1, 3.0, 3.2 .... (The stuff is scattered all over the page, but lines up in a predictable way; I've probably got the wrong number of spaces in the example above. I _know_ I'm doing something wrong, but could use a hint; I took the table templates directly from the O'Reilly dtdparse web page.) > P.S. I haven't tried JadeTeX in a long time. Does anyone with > more experience have any comments? Is there another alternative for print output? Thanks again for your help. In the span of a few minutes I'm over the biggest hurdle and have ~100 pages of typeset and html documentation. - Tom <TABLE> <TITLE>Supported Platforms</TITLE> <TITLEABBREV>Platforms</TITLEABBREV> <TGROUP COLS="3"> <THEAD> <ROW> <ENTRY>Architecture</ENTRY> <ENTRY>Processor</ENTRY> <ENTRY>Operating System</ENTRY> </ROW> </THEAD> <TBODY> <ROW> <ENTRY>DECstation 3000</ENTRY> <ENTRY>Alpha AXP</ENTRY> <ENTRY>OSF/1 2.1, 3.0, 3.2</ENTRY> </ROW> <ROW> <ENTRY>Sun4</ENTRY> <ENTRY>SPARC</ENTRY> <ENTRY>Solaris 2.5.1</ENTRY> </ROW> <ROW> <ENTRY>H-P 9000/700 and 800</ENTRY> <ENTRY>PA-RISC</ENTRY> <ENTRY>HP-UX 9.03, 10.20</ENTRY> </ROW> <ROW> <ENTRY>Intel</ENTRY> <ENTRY>X86</ENTRY> <ENTRY>Linux 2.0.x (ELF)</ENTRY> </ROW> </TBODY> </TGROUP> </TABLE> DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
