Re: [Firebird-docs] Problems with DocBook

Hi,

I looked at fop at apache and discovered it does not support proportional
column widths.
What you can use apparently is from CALS table model,

The fixed unit values are case
                                    insensitive. The standard list of
                                    allowed unit values is "pt" (points),
                                    "cm" (centimeters), "mm"
                                    (millimeters), "pi" (picas), and "in"
                                    (inches). The default fixed unit is pt.


I tried widths of 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm for your table and the table
looked ok in pdf to me.  The defaulthtml looks fine too.

There's a typo (unconverted jboss stuff) in the build.xml, preventing
regeneration of pdf.  I'm attaching a modified version, which also has a fo
task to rebuild pdf from the fo file, in case you want to change it by
hand.

Thanks
