Hello, We've been going round about on the question of valid @colwidth values. The documentation on Oxygen's site indicates that you can use proportional sizing using * and numeric values or fixed values using pt, cm, mm, pi, or in. I don't seen anyone using % values, but given that the allowed values are all CDATA, it doesn't seem this should or would be precluded. Yet one of our engineers insists that % isn't valid. Oxygen validates with no errors. The DITA-OT PDF output seems to render it correctly. SDL's Publication Manager and Web Client previews seem to render them correctly. So is there a reason not to use %? If it is invalid, where is this documented?
