Re: [docbook-apps] Table to pdf - Invalid property value encountered in column-width="proportional-column-width(1)": org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException

Hi Lars,

Are you setting the stylesheet param 'fop1.extensions' to 1?  That param is required to workaround some of the limitations of fop 1.0.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Table to pdf - Invalid property value encountered in column-width="proportional-column-width(1)": org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException

Hello,

If I add a table to my docbook document and convert it to pdf I receive several of the following error messages:

[fop] SCHWERWIEGEND: Invalid property value encountered in column-width="proportional-column-width(1)": org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: file:/C:/Users/D034797/workspace/vogella/de.vogella.docbook.first/output/temp/article2.fo:4:408: proportional-column-width() function may only be used when fo:table has table-layout="fixed".; property:'column-width' (Siehe Position 4:453)

Googling for this error lead to http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201008/msg00143.html. According to this discussion the 1.76.1 XSL  stylesheets should not have this error anymore if I understand it correctly.

The table looks like the following:

<table frame='all'>

<title>Sample Table</title>

<tgroup cols='2' align='left' colsep='1' rowsep='1'>

<colspec colname='c1' />

<colspec colname='c2' />

<thead>

<row>

<entry>a4</entry>

<entry>a5</entry>

</row>

</thead>

<tfoot>

<row>

<entry>f4</entry>

<entry>f5</entry>

</row>

</tfoot>

<tbody>

<row>

<entry>b1</entry>

<entry>b2</entry>

</row>

<row>

<entry>d1</entry>

<entry>d5</entry>

</row>

</tbody>

</tgroup>

</table>

Is this a different error in the stylesheets or am I'm making something wrong? 

Best regards, Lars
