Hi Ron,
If it is two columns, you might consider using a
variablelist instead. It is designed for this purpose. It will
automatically try to adjust the first column to fit the data, and it provides a
processing instruction for the left width in case you need to override it. For
more information, see:
What's missing is segtitle. You might have to
fake that. 8^)
There is always <table> too, with
frame="none" and colsep="0" and rowsep="0".

Subject: [docbook-apps] Tabular
presentation of segmented lists
I use the following XML to display a
segmented list in table form. The first column has only very limited
length data, the second column a long line of text. When I transform
this with XEP 4.9 I get a table OK, but the columns are of equal
width.
I need to customize the table to get a narrow
first column and the rest of the page for the second column.
How can I do this?
<segmentedlist><title>A
Title for the Segmented list Presented as a Table</title>
<?dbfo
list-presentation="table"?>
<segtitle>Abcd</segtitle><segtitle>Another title for the second column</segtitle>
<seglistitem><seg>1234</seg><seg>A long line
of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem>
<seglistitem><seg>5678</seg><seg>Another long
line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next
line</seg></seglistitem>
<seglistitem><seg>9012</seg><seg>And yet
another long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next
line</seg></seglistitem>
</segmentedlist>
