Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: dsssl problem with jadetex: hbox overfull in table
Overfull hbox isn't really a problem. The hbox is something like the bounding box round the word (or whatever object tex is processing at the time). The result will, usually be, bad justfication etc. - or possibly over run on a line. So you will invariably see one or two of these in any reasonably sized document. There is a good "FAQ" on overful hbox in the tex faq which will explain the issue properly. To improve your table layout you may want to try specifying column widths - either relative or abosolute. Have a look at "releasenotes.xml" which comes the openjade 1.3.1 distribution (not sure if Red Hat have put it in the RPM - it will be in the source RPM though) - and see how the tables are done in that one.
