Re: [docbook-apps] Displaying sections in 2 columns for HTML chunk output

[Maxime Bégnis]

Hello, I tried the "float" thing with CSS but I didn't use "clear" so my result was not usable. Anyway I found another(better somehow) way to display my content. Thanks a lot, I'll keep this under my arm. cya, NeoDoc Maxime Bégnis Développeur max...@neodoc.biz Tél: 09.54.96.99.55 - Fax: 09.59.96.99.55 http://www.neodoc.fr/ 5, rue de la Touloubre 13770 Venelles Le 07/02/2011 18:01, Jeff Chimene a écrit : Hi Maxime: I haven't tried this, but.... Are you using the standard Docbook stylesheets? I've had good success using custom stylesheets that incorporate descendant selectors. Use float: left, and float: right in the rule body to select positioning. Try using sect1 for the left column, and sect2 for the right column. You might also need sect3 to generate clear:both. I've found that adding "border: thin solid red" helps visualize the resulting box model. I'm sure there's also something that you can do with tables, but I think that it's a bit more complex, and requires more thought. Should all else fail, consider post processing with a separate stylesheet, or... Perl! Bueno suerte, jec 2011/2/7 Maxime Bégnis <max...@neodoc.biz> Hello, I'm chunking an article document by sections of level 1. I would like to display the child sections(level2) into a table having two columns : section1.1            section1.2  content of 1.1        content of 1.2 section1.3            section1.4  content of 1.3        content of 1.4   section1.5            ...  content of 1.5 ... I tried different things that broke the chunking of the sections in the output(no files are generated for the sections). Does anyone knows a way to do such a thing?   Thanks a lot!
