RE: [docbook-apps] Odd column resizing issue

|  XHTML errors here and there, but this last one has me stumped.
|  
|  I moved table.xsl  to my customization layer folder and 
|  added the XHTML namespace declaration to eliminate the 
|  delimiter problems I was encountering. However, an odd thing 
|  happened with the calculations for my col widths.

[...]

|  When I'm producing plain old HTML, the result is 
|  
|  <col xmlns="" width="20%"><col xmlns="" width="40%"><col 
|  xmlns="" width="40%">
|  
|  However, when I add the XHTML namespace, I get this result:
|  
|  <col width="1*"></col><col width="2*"></col><col width="2*"></col>


I'm sorry, but it is a little hard to understand what you are doing. May I
ask why you need to retrofit webhelpindexer to work with a very old version
of DocBook-XSL? 

I don't know how to reproduce the table columns problem. You mention the
adjustColumnWidth extension function from docbook.py in your follow-up post,
so I presume that you use Python to do the transformation. Is this right?
