tables or no tables

[Niek van Elck]

Dear FOP users,   I’m quite new to the xsl-fo subject, allthough i have build a couple of pdf reports using xsl-fo.   I have encountered some limitations on fo:table The book xsl-fo from o’reilly says there are so many other ways to represent data than the use of tables. The only thing missing is what the other ways are..   Is there anyone who can push me in the right direction?   Many thanks in advance.   Niek van Elck
