Subject: Setting HTML Colwidths
Hiya I'm working on a method of importing HTML into a Word document and have come across a problem with importing a table. Given a Docbook table of the form: <table> <tgroup> <colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="30pt"/> <colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="150pt"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colname="col1"><para>MyFirstCol</para></entry> <entry colname="col2"><para>My2ndCol</para></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> Using the XHTML Stylesheets with my own customisation layers (with no table customisations yet) gives: <table> <colgroup> <col width="30pt" align="left"> <col width="150pt" align="left"> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr valign="top"> <td valign="top"><p>MyFirstCol</p></td> <td valign="top"><p>My2ndCol</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Viewing with a Browser works fine as you'd expect and even opening in Word gives the impression that it's fine too. However the problem is that Word doesn't fix the Column widths - adding more text to "col1" for example, stretches the column width to suite the new text. It seems I can force Word to harden the column widths by setting a style attribute on every <td> and <th> (eg: <td valign="top" style="width:30.0pt;">). Can anyone help with the XSLT required to do this? I'm having difficulty understanding how I can track which <entry> I'm processing and therefore which colspec.colwidth I need... Cheers Phil
