[oXygen-user] Tables with width in percents

[Mike Starov]

Thanks a lot. Sending null does the trick. 

Here is what I ended up with. If width is fixed I pass it through if it is percents then I send null. That way I keep the resizing functionality on fixed width tables.

@Override
    public AuthorTableColumnWidthProvider createAuthorTableColumnWidthProvider()
    {
        return new CALSandHTMLTableCellInfoProvider()
        {
            @Override
            public WidthRepresentation getTableWidth(String tableCellsTagName)
            {
                WidthRepresentation toReturn = super.getTableWidth(tableCellsTagName);
                if( toReturn != null && !toReturn.getWidthRepresentation().contains("%") )
                    return toReturn;
                return null;
            }
        };
    }

Hi Mike,

You can try to modify the 
"ro.sync.ecss.extensions.docbook.DocBookExtensionsBundleBase" and modify 
the method:

> public AuthorTableColumnWidthProvider createAuthorTableColumnWidthProvider()

like:

> /**
>    * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.ExtensionsBundle#createAuthorTableColumnWidthProvider()
>    */
>   @Override
>   public AuthorTableColumnWidthProvider createAuthorTableColumnWidthProvider() {
>     return new CALSandHTMLTableCellInfoProvider() {
>       /**
>        * @see ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.table.support.CALSandHTMLTableCellInfoProvider#getTableWidth(java.lang.String)
>        */
>       @Override
>       public WidthRepresentation getTableWidth(String tableCellsTagName) {
>         return null;
>       }
>     };
>   }


As in the Docbook CSS the width is also specified as a property for the 
table there should be no need in this case to return a fixed width in 
the "AuthorTableColumnWidthProvider".
