Briefly stated: -DocBook book has a part with a chapter with a section with a sidebar -sidebar has two children: 1. informaltable with a. a colwidth spec on the first of 2 cols b. 2colsx3rows table 2. para with two children a. cdata b. simplelist (2x2 table) with no column width specs -in the rendered PDF, the simplelist is using the same column-width specified for the informaltable
Everything passes a DTD check. The HTML renders fine. The problem could be a FOP issue as the translated .fo looks fine to me.
thanks,
