Subject: Re: [xsl] Missing 'width' attribute, CALS limitation? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2002 13:00:46 -0500 |
Am I right in my assumption that to calculate mixed column widths (proportional and absolute), you need the total width of a table?
CALS doesn't have such an attribute.
It has something called "pgwide", which I think can be useful, but I don't understand it fully. The DocBook book says:
"If pgwide has the value 0, then the table is rendered in the current text flow (with flow column width). A value of 1 specifies that the table should be rendered across the full text page."
My interpretation is that 0 might be useful for tables as wide as fo:region-body. Does 1 really mean a page without margins? What about tables just half the width of fo:region-body? Why not have a width attribute? Isn't this a major shortcoming in CALS?
