Re: [docbook-apps] default.table.width parameter - specifying a percentage

Hi George,

What XSL-FO processor are you using?  It seems to work for me with XEP.

Can you peek inside the fo output and see if there is a width attribute on
the fo:table?

You might want to take a look at the template named 'table.width' in
fo/table.xsl.  It determines what that width attribute should have.  The
default.table.width is used only if there is no table width PI, and if at
least one of the table columns does not have an explicit width.  If all of
the columns have an explicit width with units, then the default is not used.

I'm trying to use the default.table.width parameter to set all tables to
100% of the width (FO output).  However, the width is being ignored.
Here's the syntax in my .bat file (using Saxon 6.5.3, on Win 2000 Pro).
What is it that I'm doing wrong?

   java  com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o demo.fo  demo.xml
docbook-xsl-1.69.1/fo/docbook.xsl  axf.extensions=1
default.table.width="100%"




NOTE: if I use an absolute value such as inches instead of a percentage,
the specified width is then applied (which doesn't do me any good, I
need the % width - I just tried an absolute value for troubleshooting
purposes).

Thanks -
- george
