Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] height of rows in tables
Thanks again Bob. It seems clear that XEP is trying to implement negative row-heights by subtracting from some value defined elsewhere. Also that XEP is non-conformant in this respect. So I tried Apache fop and got the same results as with XEP from the same XML file. In the meantime, the non-conformance of XEP produces the hard copy I was looking for. I suppose I should try Antenna House next - if that does the same, the XML source would be pretty near transportable even if non-conformant to the XSL-FO spec. I really would prefer to write standard source. Ron >Hi Ron, >I didn't say to change the table.cell.padding attribute set, which >is applied generally.
