Re: [docbook-apps] running header breaks into 2 lines!

[Robert Nagle <idiotprogrammer@gmail.com>]

bob,

That is a good trick.

You going to laugh when you hear what went wrong.

I wrote:
 <xsl:param name="header.column.width">1 2 1 </xsl:param>

I should have added an s to the word "width"

It should be:

 <xsl:param name="header.column.widths">1 2 1 </xsl:param>
