You can use inline image macros (only one : ) to do this.

Correct, there is a note in the manual that text attributes do not
apply to html 4 or PDF.  This is because the standard toolchains do
not style the roles by default. The attribute is translated into a
role name and you can use the role styling capabilities of the docbook
toolchains to style them.

The content of each cell is one word, so there is nowhere to break the
line, HTML can expand the table since you can scroll a screen, but PDF
can't since (last time I looked) you can't scroll a piece of paper.

See answer to 2 above.

Works with FOP (when used in the right order, ie ~~~ follows ___ not
^^^) fails with dblatex, I think this is a known problem with latex
for all but ascii.  Perhaps you could try Xetex (I think) or other
Unicode supporting version.

Thats the default positioning of your docbook-PDF toolchain, see FAQ
#3 for pointers to documentation on how to configure it.

I guess the manual should say how many levels are supported.

PS toclevels only goes to 4 not 5.

I don't have any problem with either toolchain generating PDF from
.txt files without any end of line at the end of the file.  Please
provide more information, eg what goes wrong?
