Re: [docbook-apps] table width error

Hi Tristan,
Actually, the problem isn't with your table, it is with the simplelist.  The
FO stylesheet uses an fo:table to output simplelist because of its
multicolumn option.  It is that table that doesn't have a
table-layout="fixed" property, nor an overall width property for the table.
You could customize the simplelist template from fo/lists.xsl to add those
properties for FOP.  Or maybe just replace that simplelist with a
literallayout,
if that's appropriate.
