RE: DOCBOOK: Colwidth attribute of colspec not processed?

[Kraa de Simon <Simon.de.Kraa@icl.nl>]

Hello,

I did turn both use.extensions and tablecolumns.extension on and got the
following error:

Q:\Documents\XML\test2>set
classpath=N:\XML\DocBook\docbook-xsl-1.48\extensions\
saxon65.jar

Q:\Documents\XML\test2>n:\xml\t\saxon\saxon.exe doc.xml
n:\xml\t\docbook-xsl-1.4
8\html\docbook.xsl  1>doc.html

Error at xsl:copy-of on line 211 of
file:/n:/xml/t/docbook-xsl-1.48/html/table.x
sl:
  Exception in extension function java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
java/lang/Float:
method parseFloat(Ljava/lang/String;)F not found
Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Simon.

From table.xsl:

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$use.extensions != 0
                      and $tablecolumns.extension != 0">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="function-available('stbl:adjustColumnWidths')">
            <xsl:copy-of select="stbl:adjustColumnWidths($colgroup)"/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:when test="function-available('xtbl:adjustColumnWidths')">
            <xsl:copy-of select="xtbl:adjustColumnWidths($colgroup)"/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:message terminate="yes">
              <xsl:text>No adjustColumnWidths function available.</xsl:text>
            </xsl:message>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:copy-of select="$colgroup"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

There are two Docbook XSL parameters that must be turned on
when processing:

use.extensions = 1
tablecolumns.extension = 1

And you need to be using either Saxon or Xalan
since those are the only processors that support
the tablecolumns.extension.  The xsltproc
processor doesn't yet have it (but coming soon,
I hope).
