If I have this in my source:
<row>
<entry colname="col1">Text</entry>
<entry colname="col2">
<para>Text</para>
</entry>
</row>
I'll get this in my html output:
<tr>
<td>Text</td>
<td><p>Text</p></td>
</tr>
If I output xhtml, in Firefox, the text in the two cells will not be
horizontally aligned. Apparently this is a quirks mode thing (if I
delete the xhtml doctype from the output, the cells do align because I'm
back in quirks mode). For other reasons, I want to stay out of quirks
mode.
What's the right thing to do here? I preprocess the docs before passing
them to the docbook xsls, but writing code that will figure out whether
I need to add a <para> around the text sounds complicated (you could
have <entry>Text<itemizedlist>...and various other combinations. I could
hack the docbook xsls and always put a <p> inside <td>s, but that
creates ugly xhtml that's hard to style with css.
It seems like others should be having this problem too :-)
