Subject: Formatting with two columns and DocBook stylesheets From: Gerhard Stenzel <stenzel@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1998 09:23:17 +0000 |
Hi everyone, I try to format a DocBook article with two columns by specifying (define %page-n-columns% 2). In the RTF output the space between the two columns is a bit too large and in the PS/PDF output (via tex) is seems to be zero. I assume, 'page-column-sep' would be the right thing to set, but I did not find it in any of the style sheets. >From the JADE documentation (for RTF): >page-column-sep > Value is a length, specifying the separation between columns. The initial value is .5in. It applies to > simple-page-sequence flow objects. So it seems, that the RTF backend has an initial value of .5 in for 'page-column-sep', whereas the TeX backend has an initial value of zero. In a post from Sebastian (June 97) I found that the TeX appearantly supports 'page-column-sep'. So I added (declare-characteristic page-column-sep "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::page-column-sep" 4pt) to my docbook.dsl. Nothing changed.. neither RTF nor PDF In addition pdftex complains about something(, but this could be related to my MikTex installation): ...... ! Undefined control sequence. \SpS ...umns >1 \columnsep \PageColumnSep \begin {multicols}{\PageNCo... l.33 {0}} .... ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \def l.33 {0}} .... ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> \def l.33 {0}} ...... Any suggestions anyone?
