Tabular presentation of segmented listsHi Ron, If it is two columns, you might consider using a variablelist instead. It is designed for this purpose. It will automatically try to adjust the first column to fit the data, and it provides a processing instruction for the left width in case you need to override it. For more information, see:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Variablelists.html What's missing is segtitle. You might have to fake that. 8^) There is always <table> too, with frame="none" and colsep="0" and rowsep="0".

The first column has only very limited length data, the second column a long line of text. When I transform this with XEP 4.9 I get a table OK, but the columns are of equal width. I need to customize the table to get a narrow first column and the rest of the page for the second column. How can I do this? <segmentedlist><title>A Title for the Segmented list Presented as a Table</title> <?dbfo list-presentation="table"?> <segtitle>Abcd</segtitle><segtitle>Another title for the second column</segtitle> <seglistitem><seg>1234</seg><seg>A long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem> <seglistitem><seg>5678</seg><seg>Another long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem> <seglistitem><seg>9012</seg><seg>And yet another long line of text here, generally will need to wrap around onto next line</seg></seglistitem> </segmentedlist> Ron -- Ron Catterall, Phd, DSc email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Prolongacion de Hidalgo 140 http://catterall.net/ San Felipe del Agua tel: +52 951 520 1821 Oaxaca 68020 Mexico fax: +1 530 348 8309 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
