Hi Hussein,
i have noticed from your examples that if a "colspec" element is not
specified than the width of a page will split up evenly between columns of a
table. This will also happern if a unit foreign to a specific conversion
utility is added. Also i have noticed that if no units are set but values
are created for DITA files to *.rtf, *.docx, or *.odt the default unit for
the values will be millimeters. Your example set me on the right track to
realize the above.
I do have another problem i hope you can help me out with. Is there an
XSL-FO parameter or a pre-made XSLT stylsheet a user can use to include a
cover page with their company logo on it?
I would like to have this option for the conversion of DITA files into
*.rtf, *.docx, or *.odt types.
Alberto
