Still, the output is bad, more about this later. I find it a little strange that the transformations default to keeping a table on a single page even if it means leaving out most of the table content. It sounds like a bug to me - I can't imagine enyone would prefer having only part of the whole table displayed instead of breaking it onto several pages. Is there a value for keep-together.within-column (or some other attribute) that would mean "keep on a single page as long as the table fits on a single page"? Now that all the content of the table is displayed, there is a problem w/ the columns. In the table, the colprops are defined like this: <colspec colnum='1' colname='c1' colwidth='1.00*'/> <colspec colnum='2' colname='c2' colwidth='1.00*'/> <colspec colnum='3' colname='c3' colwidth='1.00*'/> <colspec colnum='4' colname='c4' colwidth='1.00*'/> <colspec colnum='5' colname='c5' colwidth='2.00*'/> What seems to happen is that the three fist columns are displayed quite wide, and the two last colums are written on top of each other in the very little space that is left. Very strange default behavior - again, I can't imagine when one would want text of two colums to be written on top of each other (rendering unreadable garbage), so this must be a bug? Can this be controlled via some attributes, too? -Antti- Ps. Note that the docbook source I'm transforming is in the docbook xsl distribution - thus, if interested, you can run the transformation yourself (see my previous post for exact command line) to see how the output looks like.
