Re: [css2xslfo-support] Command line for creating pdf

[Aaron S. <aar...@gm...>]

Thanks, running the separate commands is working.  Only problem is I
don't specify widths for any of my table cells, such that they resize
to fit contents, and this looks very nice in the browser, but the
resulting PDF looks really bad.  I assume this is the meaning of the
table-layout="auto" not supported warning from FOP.

So I am experimenting with setting pixel widths on the columns, but
the spacing in the browser versus the PDF is still quite different but
somewhat better.  Is this just the nature of the beast and the best I
can expect?
