Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] height of rows in tables
Bob Wouldn't manually removing the padding-top="2pt" and padding-bottom="2pt" apply to all rows - then I'd have to set row-height for every row? I get no error messages when setting negative row-heights. When I set row-height="0cm" (without removing any padding) I get a different result from -3cm - see attached file and compare the second row up from the bottom (0cm) with the fourth row up (-3cm). The -3cm is narrower, and the 0cm same as the default value. Surely some negative row-height is being deducted from the default? Ron >Hi Ron, >I can't explain your results.
