DOCBOOK-APPS: Table Rendering of XSL-FO Files

[Holger Rauch <Holger dot Rauch at heitec dot de>]

Hi!

When I convert the following sample table to PDF using

- DocBook XML 4.1.2 and
- version 1.29 of the style sheets in conjunction with
- Saxon 6.2.1 and
- FOP 0.17, 

all the output is sort of piled up, just like a bunch of
characters. Anyway, it surely has got nothing whatsoever in common with a
table. Can anybody tell me why? (I'll include the document in case
somebody is willing to try it out.)

I was translating the SGML file to XML using

sgml2xml -xlower table_test.sgml > table_test.xml

Thanks in advance for any help!

Greetings,

	Holger
