[oXygen-user] Tables with width in percents

[Mike Starov]

What if I Override the getTableWidth() method in CALSTableCellInfoProvider and make it return a pixel value vs percentage all the time. I would need access to window dimension/viewport. Then I could easily calculate the pixel value and return it as WidthRepresentation(pixelValue, true);

Is something like that possible?

Hi Mike,

So you have a custom implementation of the Docbook schemas which allow 
you to specify the "width" on a table with a "frame" attribute.
We analyzed this situation (the table size is properly computed and 
displayed but the columns do not take the additional space) which seems 
to be a bug in Oxygen and we'll try to come up with a fix in the next 
version (probably it September this year).
Unfortunately I cannot give you a workaround for now.

Regards,
Radu
