Re: [docbook-apps] Testing docbook table examples

OK, it is working, just not as you expected.  
8^)

The table frame attribute controls only the outside 
frame.  The rowsep and colsep attributes control the inner rules in Cals 
tables. Those are set to 1 (on) by default in Cals tables, and the stylesheet 
acts on that.  Set them to zero to turn them off.

Hi,

    
The Cals table example worked for me when 
    frame="topbot". 

  

This is the example I'm trying. I see a table with rules for all rows 
  and column. There is none on left and right side though.
I thought I would 
  see rules on the top and bottom only. 

<article xmlns='http://docbook.org/ns/docbook'>
<title>Example 
  table</title>

<table frame='topbot'>
<title>Sample 
  CALS Table</title> 
<tgroup 
  cols='4'>
<thead>
<row>
  <entry>Horizontal 
  Span</entry>
  <entry>a3</entry>
  
  <entry>a4</entry>
  
  <entry>a5</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
  
  <entry>f2</entry>
  
  <entry>f3</entry>
  
  <entry>f4</entry>
  
  <entry>f5</entry>
</row>
<row>
  
  <entry>b2</entry>
  
  <entry>b3</entry>
  
  <entry>b4</entry>
  <entry>Vertical 
  Span</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table> 
  
</article>

 

  
    

    
For tables using HTML markup, the 
    frame="hsides" should work, but it currently is not implemented in the 
    stylesheet.  You could bug report that one.

      [docbook-apps] Testing docbook table examples

      

Hello,

I'm testing docbook5 table examples for PDF 
      with frame="topbot" and it doesn't seem to work. I'm using xslt, 
      docbook5-xsl-1.72.0, fop 0.93 and docbook 5.0.

The examples 
      are,

I see the 
      table with frame on all sides and rows.

Any ideas? Are there better 
      open source tools for PDF processing other than 
      FOP?

TIA,
Josh
