Hello,

I'm using the docbook-dsssl version 1.59 to translate sgml-files both to 
rtf and html.

Now I want to update to the newer version 1.78, but an important feature 
of the older version does not work yet in translation to html. Formerly I 
could define the size of two table-columns in a predefined rate. E.g. I 
defined the colwidth of the first column as colwidth="1*" and for the 
second colums as colwidth="2*". As a result the table rows were shown in a 
ratio of 33% to 67% of the whole window-size. The source code of the older 
version's created html-files shows:

<CLASS="CALSTABLE">
   <THEAD> 
     <TR>
       <TH WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="LEFT">
         <P> ... </P>
       </TH>
       <TH WIDTH="67%" ALIGN="LEFT">
         <P> ... </P>
       </TH>
     </TR>
   </THEAD>

and so on. 

With dsssl-version 1.78  I will get a table, where the rows are nearly of 
the same size. The generated html-source code looks like this: 

<CLASS="CALSTABLE">
   <COL WIDTH="1*" TITLE="COL1"> 
   <COL WIDTH="2*" TITLE="COL2"> 
     <THEAD>
       <TR>
         <TH>
            <P> ... </P>
         </TH>
         <TH>
            <P> ... </P>
         </TH>
       </TR>
     </THEAD>
 
and so on.

Is it a bug or do I have to change something in the way of using? If so, 
please tell me what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Ronald
