The stylesheet is supposed to be able to convert from DocBook's notion of widths to FO. In fact, the conversion XSL came from the XSL:FO spec. Use the '*' notation for proportional widths. I.e. for one column to be 1/3 the width and the other column to be 2/3 the total width, you would use this: <column width="*"/> <column width="2*"/> The stylesheet will take care of the rest. > > Also, do you know if fop supports <simple-link> (what <ulink> is transformed > into).
