How to create multiple lines in DITA table cell
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2022 7:51 pm
Is there a way of creating multiple lines in a single DITA table cell without excessive spacing? I created a pdf target using HTML/CSS and I've tried three options: adding <p></p> to each line within an <entry></entry> and using the <line></line>. Both give a lot of extra spacing. The closest I can get is:
The only problem with this is that the irregular lines are not centered vertically within a cell:
Code: Select all
<table >
<title>Adjustment for hypoxia and hypercarbia</title>
<tgroup cols="3">
<colspec colname="c1" colwidth="53.67pt"/>
<colspec colname="c2" colwidth="45.16pt"/>
<colspec colname="c3" colwidth="173.45pt"/>
