[oXygen-user] Understanding @colsep and @rowsep

[Frank Dissinger]

Hi all,


Can someone shed some light on how the *@colsep* and*@rowsep* attributes 
are used for CALS tables? The information I found is not clear and 
detailed enough for me.


I understand that these attributes create separator lines for colums and 
rows. Do I only need these attributes when I do not set *@frame="all"* 
to create lines for particular rows or columns only?


For a normal CALS table with lines for all rows and columns (i.e. like a 
grid), is enough to set *@frame="all"* or do I additionally need these 
attributes? The code that Oxygen creates (see below) with these settings 
(i.e. without these attributes) ...

does not have these *@colsep* and*@rowsep* attributes, only 
*@frame="all"*, and is rendered as desired with my CHM and PDF 
transformations.


I have several tables with *@colsep*/*@rowsep="0" *or*="1"*. These 
attributes may have been added by FrameMaker when I converted 
unstructured content to DITA. Can I safely remove all of these 
attributes when I just want a CALS table with row and line separators 
every (like a grid)?


Regards,

Frank
