[oXygen-user] Strange error while transforming docbook 5 to pdf (next error)

[Bob Stayton]

This first error saying text-align="char" looks like an attempt to use 
the feature of CALS tables that would align columns along a certain 
character, such as a "." for decimal point.   This is specified on a 
table's colspec with

align="char" char="."

This should generate text-align="." for that table column. 
Unfortunately, text-align is listed in the FOP compliance document [1] 
as only partially supported:

"Only start, end, center and justify are supported"

The fact that your error message says text-align="char" suggests the 
table column was coded in the XML as

align="char" char="char"

Is that the case?
