/ Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com> was heard to say:
| First, if I don't specifically specify a rowsep or colsep on the tgroup, the
| FO stylesheets are not drawing cell borders. I've been poking around for a
| bit, and this line from the CALS specification seems to indicate that the
| default value for these should be 1: "Default = IMPLIED, (means use value
| from tgroupstyle if any, else from <table> if any, else '1')." ). " (
Right you are. Fixed.
| My other problem is a little stickier. It involves table widths. We have
| been using absolute column widths on all of our tables (2,392 of them, to be
| exact.) and our current print engine (Epic 3.0.1) determines the table width
| based on the sum of the column widths. The XSL stylesheets don't do that.
| Without turning on the tablecolumn.extensions, we get columns that extend
| past the edge of the table, or gaps between the edge of the rightmost column
| and the leftmost column. With the tablecolumn.extensions, we get a lot of
| tables that look either compressed or stretched.
Can you provide an example of this problem? If you're specifying
absolute widths for all the columns, I don't see how the absence of a
width for the table should have any effect.
Be seeing you,
norm
