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.
