/ Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say: | I created a small SGM table and used Jade to produce and RTF using a | modifed version the the DOCBOOK DSL. The table doesn't appear as it was ^^^ What did you change? Did you mean DTD? | supposed to. Text I specified as centered isn't, row heights aren't | used. I end up with a table having 6 single line rows. Text entities | are properly handled. | | I have made no changes to the DSL with regard to table so I assume it There are a few things to note in here. - The centered things are centered for me in the RTF backend, so I don't know exactly what to say about that. - Row heights are specified with a PI in your sample and the DocBook table code doesn't support the PIs. Now, given I'll bet dollars to donuts I know what tool you edited this table with, I'm inclined to think that I ought to support the PubTbl PIs ;-)[*]. However, I don't see how I can in DSSSL. Anyone have any suggestions? The only characteristics that I see are table-cell-before-row-margin and table-cell-after-row-margin, but w/o knowing how big the cell content is, I don't see how I can use that. - Your sample demonstrated a bug in DocBook 1.06 wrt handling PIs in ROWS. When did I release that? Hmm, let me count the minutes. Sigh. 1.07 tomorrow, I guess. | the SGM fragment being used | | <table frame="all"> | <tgroup cols="1" colsep="1" rowsep="1"> That's not a valid DocBook table, BTW. The Title is missing. It either has to be an InformalTable or it needs a Title. | will work properly. Am I missing something? (obviously!) Perhaps | someone has an example of a title page using fixed positioning? I would add markup to the book biblio and arrange to have the following construction rules fire: (make paragraph space-before: 1in align: 'center >>DISABILITY PROPOSAL<<) (make paragraph space-before: 0.5in align: 'center >>PREPARED FOR<<) (make paragraph space-before: 0.5in align: 'center >>&POLICYHOLDER;<<) (make paragraph space-before: 6in align: 'center (literal " ")) (make paragraph space-before: 0.5in align: 'left >>This proposal...<<) (make paragraph space-before: 0.5in align: 'left >>Underwritten..<<) Where I've left >>foo<< in the places where you need to arrange to process the right content. Check out the stuff in the print stylesheet that handles a complex-title-page. Good luck! [*] I'll use my full sig this time, for those who may not have seen the humor....
