I'm sorry, I was being lazy and using
a very (very) shorthand html snipped to represent what I need to do - which
is :more like:
(although it needs to actually be in
docbook). The point is that I have multiple head entries, dotted about
the table. Currently I am just using <emphasis> to fake the head
entries, but I'd much rather have it defined in terms of the tables structure
rather than how I want it to look - hense why I am using Docbook in the
first place.
<table>
<row>
<headentry></headentry>
<headentry></headentry>
</row>
<row>
<entry></entry>
<entry></entry>
</row>
<row>
<headentry></headentry>
<entry></entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry></entry>
<entry></entry>
</row>
</table>
I hope I have been a little more clear
this time..
thanks
