Subject: (dsssl) paragraph breaks in table cells From: curt brune <curt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 09:41:35 -0800 |
Pardon my frequent questions, but dsssl is new to me. I'm having trouble getting paragraphs breaks between paragraphs in a table-cell. For instance I want a cell that has two paragraphs in it, like: --------------------------------- | Paragraph1 | | | | Paragraph2 | --------------------------------- What ever I try, however, the paragraphs (short 2 word phrases) come out on the same line, like: --------------------------------- | Paragraph1 Paragraph2 | --------------------------------- The construction I'm using looks like: (make table-cell (make sequence (make paragraph (literal "Paragraph1")) (make paragraph (literal "Paragraph2"))) ) BTW this is with the TEX backend. Are my paragraphs not coming out as display object, but as inline objects? If so how do I force the paragraphs to be display objects? If I make the two paragraphs outside of the table-cell they are seperated normally. I **really** appreciate everyone's help -- I have been scouring the archives looking for the same questions. The most relevant comment is "the tex backend is broke for tables". I hope that's not really the case. In the end I do not care so much about TEX, but I care about having PDF -- using TEX seems "how you get there from here" for docbook --> PDF formatting.
