RE: [docbook] colspec attribute getting ignored??


XSL
docbook-xsl-1.58.1
processor wise, im not sure what its actually called, but it's the m$ HTML
Help workshop if that helps, or if that's what its actually called.

>From what I understand, which I think is very little as im quite new to
this, I use a batch file in combination with the xml file, a css file and
the xsl file to combine this into the online help file using the m$ workshop
application. Please correct me if this is wrong.

I somehow missed that it wasn't working when compiled, which is a different
problem.  Which tools are you using to create the online help?  XSL or
DSSSL? Which version of the stylesheets?  Which processor?
