DocBook table column widths dilemma

[strummer]

I finally figured out how to stop the PDF output from DocBook from using fixed column widths for tables, using the following XML code:

<tgroup cols="2" align="left">
<colspec colnum="1" colname="Option" colwidth="1*"/>
<colspec colnum="2" colname="Description" colwidth="4*"/>

But now I noticed that this code is screwing up tables in the HTML output. The columns now almost look fixed width there now.

Has anyone been able to solve the column width issue for DocBook PDFs while maintaining nice looking tables in the HTML output?

I really would appreciate help on this.

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi Steve,

Have you tried setting width="100%" on the <table>?

Maybe you should also ask this question on the Docbook Users List, you might get better feedback as there are more Docbook users registered on it.
