Hi,
i would like to use an informaltable nested inside a table in docbook 5.0.
There was a thread about this subject on this mailing list in March 2010
[1]. I do understand that there are problems with the CALS table model. So
the advice was to switch to the HTML table model: "DocBook has allowed full
nested tables since version 4.3, when HTML table markup was
added. You can put a table inside a <td> element in DocBook's HTML table
markup. And there are no restrictions on row or column spans."
However, this fragment leads to an error:
<table>
<caption>HTML Table</caption>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<informaltable>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</informaltable>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Error message is generated from schematron: "informaltable must not occur in
the descendants of table".
It will validate, however, if I change the outer "table" to "informaltable"
and remove the caption. I can`t see any reason for this restriction in case
of HTML table model. I think that the schematron rule should check the table
model and claim an error only in case of CALS tables.
