Hi Stuart!
Here's a little idea:
With release 0.3 of dblatex it is now possible to set the table width
using a processing instruction. [1] This means that you now can have
tables with a width other than 100% using the dblatex backend without
having to use
the "pageunits=pt" workaround [2].
From what I can see the change required to support this is adding:
<?dblatex table-width="{width}"?>
to the [table] section in docbook.conf where you today have:
# DocBook XSL Stylesheets custom processing instructions.
<?dbhtml table-width="{width}"?>
<?dbfo table-width="{width}"?>
The width syntax for dblatex should be the same as for the others. [3]
Unfortunately I'm not sure if adding this could cause regressions for
other backends...?
I've installed dblatex 0.3 and added your suggestion to the docbook.conf file,
it works and it won't cause any regression problem (unrecognized processing
instructions are simply ignored by downstream processors). Users currently using
absolute column widths with the pageunits attribute won't be affected either.
The new scheme is better because you don't have to set the pagewidth and it gets
it right regardless of the page width.
Thank you for your suggestion, I've committed it to the trunk:
