What DTD?
What style sheets?
What version of jade/openjade?
What version of jadetex?
etc.

With DocBook, modular stylesheets 1.64 or greater, openjade 1.3 +
patches, jadetex 3.11 It works OK for me.

[ If you are using the DocBook DTD [ + the modular stylesheets ] then
the docbook-apps list might be a better list to discuss this problem. ]

Here is my example which renders OK:

--------------------------
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">
<book>
<chapter><title>First</title>
<table frame='all'><title>Sample Table</title>
<tgroup cols='2' align='left' colsep='1' rowsep='1'>
<colspec colname='c1'>
<colspec colname='c2'>
<tbody>
<row>
  <entry>This is some really, really long text. It just goes on and on
and on an on. I wonder what will happen to it</entry>
  <entry><para>This is some really, really long text. It just goes on
and on and on an on. I wonder what will happen to it</para></entry>
</row>
<row>
  <entry>This is some really, really long text. It just goes on and on
and on an on. I wonder what will happen to it</entry>
  <entry>This is some really, really long text. It just goes on and on
and on an on. I wonder what will happen to it</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
</chapter>
</book>

Caveat: If I just have  <TABLE> as the root element (rather than
chapter) then things aren't quite right.

Caveat 2: Note the "openjade + patches" - the patches have some
important fixes for tables. Can't remember if they have any impact on
your problem though.

Ian.
