Hi Manuel,
I checked in fixes for variablelist, qandaset, and calloutlist yesterday, but I
was having trouble with normal tables. I've been experimenting with css along
the lines you suggested. Doing "td p {margin-top: 0;}" can have unwanted
consequenses when you nest admonitions in paras, for example, but I'm finding
that the following works for the most part:
td, th {
vertical-align: top;
}
td>p, th>p{
margin-top: 0;
}
But let's say I have docbook that produces this:
<tr>
<th align="center" valign="middle">Test</th>
<th align="center" valign="middle">
<p>Test in a para</p>
</th>
</tr>
In this situation (given that I also have some css to handle vertical
alignment: *[valign="middle"]{vertical-align: middle;}), the entry with the
para isn't vertically aligned. So if I add this rule:
td[valign]>p, th[valign]>p{
margin-top: 1em;
}
Things are fine in firefox, but in IE, they're not aligned. I guess it will
just be a limitation that you can't use paras in thead/entrys if you want to
use valign.
Also, it still doesn't handle this situation (the lack of a top margin on the
resulting <p> element removes any space between "Text" and "Another para"), but
I can live with that:
<entry>Text
<para>Another para</para>
</entry>
I'll try this css for a while and see if I find any other unwanted side effects
or unhandled cases.
Thanks,
David
