Re: Bold cells in tables

|> Can the spanning header be done with multible <tgroup> elements?
|> Eg. something like this?
|
|>  <table>
|>   <tgroup>
|>     <thead>
|>      <entry>Some text spanning multiple columns</entry>
|>     </thead>
|>     ...
|>   </tgroup>
|>   <tgroup>
|>     <thead>
|>      <entry>Some more text spanning multiple columns</entry>
|>     </thead>
|>     ...
|>   </tgroup>
|>  </table>
|
| This looks like two separate tables stuck close together in HTML.  Not
| the look I was aiming for.

No, but about all that can reasonably be achieved given the semantics
of tgroup and HTML tables. (And FO tables for that matter.)

Again, you're probably better off with the kludge:

  <entry namest="c1" nameend="c6"><phrase role="bold">...</phrase></entry>

| Also, the only way I found for both <tgroup> elements to have the same
| value, was to set pgwide="1" on the <table>.  Is there another way?

I think there's a PI you can use. Uhm...<?dbhtml table-width="..."?>
or "<?dbfo table-width="..."?>

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
