Subject: tables or grids ? From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 7 Aug 1998 15:11:42 +0100 |
As far as I understand it table flow objects are always displayed, (which seems to be the case, seeing as 12.6.27.1 says: A table flow object can only be displayed.) So even if I don't use the table-part class and just specify a table body as a sequence of rows, then it seems that this is not really suitable for, say, typesetting a matrix in a mathematical expression. Well that's probably OK as a couple of pages before that I see: NOTE 124 A matrix is handled by enclosing a grid flow object in a fence flow object. And grids have some useful looking characteristics like math-display-mode: However as far as I can see grids don't have any concept of spanning cells. I could try to span by just putting oversize entries in one cell and empty entries in the next, but I don't see how I can calculate the required amount of spacing given that I can't measure anything in dsssl. So basically I am stuck: Has anyone got any idea what to do with MathML tables which allow cells to span any number of rows or columns. David PS that was supposed to be the easy bit, before getting on to <malignmark/>.... DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
