Dear Bob

Many thanks for your continuous help. This worked well for html but not for
epub.

My input table is as follows

------------------------------------------
<table frame="all" colsep="1" rowsep="1">
  <?dblatex table-width="autowidth.column: 1 2 3"?>
  <title>Variables for the user's and the developer's documentation</title>
  <tgroup cols="3" align="left" colsep="1" rowsep="1">
  <thead>
    <row>
      <entry>Variable</entry>
      <entry>Default value</entry>
      <entry>Comment</entry>
    </row>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <row>
      <entry><varname>ALL_DOC</varname></entry>
      <entry><varname>BOOL=OFF</varname></entry>
      <entry>The user's documentation is generated in HTML, PDF, and EPUB
formats.</entry>
    </row>
    [...]
  </tbody>
  </tgroup>
</table>
------------------------------------------

The command for generating the html format (using cmake) is as follows

------------------------------------------
add_custom_target(doc_html_${lang}
  ${LIBXSLT_XSLTPROC_EXECUTABLE} --output
${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}${locale}/index.html
    # Include the customized docbook.css
    --stringparam html.stylesheet docbook.css
    # Make section numbers to include the chapter number. This assumes
chapter numbering is turned on
    --stringparam section.autolabel 1 --stringparam
section.label.includes.component.label 1
    # Generated text for chapters, sections, figures... is only the number
and not the tile
    --stringparam xref.with.number.and.title 0
    # Placement for the legend for figures is after
    --stringparam formal.title.placement "figure after table after"
    # Allow controlling individual cell borders
    --stringparam table.borders.with.css 1
    --xinclude ${DOCBOOK_XSL}/html/chunk.xsl

The command for generating the epub format (in cmake) is as follows

------------------------------------------
add_custom_target(doc_epub_${lang}

My epub.xslt is as follows

------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

Any idea why it is the case ?
