- Subject: [docbook] Possible bug in pdf table output?
Folks,
If I include the following colspecs in my xml, I cannot create a pdf
rendering of the article. If I remove the colspecs, the rendered table
looks awful as it tries to render a dense column in a very narrow
region. I *can* generate xhtml output that looks ok. I can privately
send the whole input xml if it matters:
<informaltable frame="all" rowsep="1" colsep="1">
<tgroup cols="4">
<colspec colnum="1" colwidth="5*" align="center" />
<colspec colnum="2" colwidth="15*" align="center" />
<colspec colnum="3" colwidth="80*" align="left" />
<colspec colnum="4" colwidth="15*" align="center" />
