Proportional colwidth in table (FOP 0.20.5)

[Sean Wheller <sean@inwords.co.za>]

Hi,

I would like to use proportional colwidths in tables but cannot get them to 
work.

I setup the extensions:
<xsl:param name="use.extensions" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="saxon.extensions" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="tablecolumns.extension" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="fop.extensions" select="1"/>

And saxon653 extension is in the classpath.

Also in custom layer I set
* default.table.width param to values '100%' and 'fixed'

In the document I have tried setting:
* @width on table to 100%
* @pgwide on table to 1

tgroup is as follows:

<tgroup cols="2">
            <colspec colnum="1" colwidth="1*" />
            <colspec colnum="2" colwidth="4*" />

The result is always a table of 100% width and colwidths of equal proportion.

This post back in 2003 may give a hint to the problem, but I was unable to 
reproduce the result on table

http://sourceware.org/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q3/msg00708.html

When I use CALS measures the table cols are adjusted as required.

fop.log fives me a number of 
[WARNING] Zero-width table column!

Looking at the fo file the table starts
<fo:table border-before-width.conditionality="retain"
 	.... table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
	<fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="20%"/>
	<fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="80%"/>

Which should result in the desired col adjustments, but does not.

Any help appreciated.
