Hi Kent,
To get your layout, you would need to copy those two templates from fo/titlepage.xsl
to your customization layer and rewrite the table code. In the revhistory template,
you would need to adjust the column-widths, and in the revision template, put all the
content into a single fo:table-row with three cells. Is that sufficient?

Subject: [docbook-apps] how to adjust revhistory columns?
Right now, my columns look like this:
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| <revnumber> | <date> |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| <revdescription> - a paragraph containing several sentences - |
| much longer than either revnumber or date. But this rendering |
| is not pleasing |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
When I want them to be more like this:
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| <revnumber> | <date> | <revdescription> - a paragraph containing |
| | | several sentences - much longer than |
| | | either revnumber or date. This rendering |
| | | is much preferred, since it has just one |
| | | row and the first two columns are squeezed|
| | | to be just big enough |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/FormatRevhistory.html says:
"If you want to further customize the revhistory table, for example to
adjust column widths or create single-row entries, then customize the
templates in fo/titlepage.xsl that start with:
<xsl:template match="revhistory" mode="titlepage.mode">
...
<xsl:template match="revhistory/revision" mode="titlepage.mode">
...
"
I've tried a few things, but can't see how to override the default behavior. How can
it be done? - just use a regular table?
Thanks,
Kent
