Subject: Creating a Title Page (STILL!) From: Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Apr 1998 08:49:21 -0400 |
I'm using a table that looks like this to create a title page: <table frame="none"> <tgroup cols="1" colsep="0" rowsep="0"> <colspec colwidth="6.5in"> <tbody> <row><entry morerows="1" align="center" valign="top">Stuff</entry></row> <row><entry></entry></row> <row><entry morerows="1" align="center" valign="top">Stuff</entry></row> <row><entry></entry></row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> When processed, I get the following error: 1st argument for primitive "car" of wrong type: "()" not a pair The error is in the "(if (equal? (car overtail) 0)" line of the "(define (overhang-skip overhang startcol)" function of the Modular DocBook style sheet (1.08b6). I'm using the 1.08b6 files. Is this something I'm doing wrong? If I take the "morerows" out, it works fine. I need to span rows to make more room for a larger font being used in the cell content. I'm trying to use a table to format a title page. It seemed easier to create a table that rows and columns could be added and modified to place text at the desired location on the page. For the prototype I'm developing, each deliverable has a different title page in a radically different format. The table lets me do each one in a different SGM fragment. Anyway...I needed to make the characters larger. I have an element "LRG" (ala HTML 3 DTD "BIG") that doubles the %bf-size%. When used on the text in a cell, the text gets larger but the row stays the same height. The letters get cut off. Specifying row heights doesn't work so I thought I would try spanning 2 rows to see if I would have enough space to fits the characters in without cutting them off. I only have 2 lines on this particular title page...both in a large typeface. One at the top, one at the bottom. That's why the example is the way it is. ...Chuck Darney ...cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
