DOCBOOK-APPS: More on several lines in a table cell

[Lane Stevens <lane at cycletime dot com>]

I am trying to place a postal address into a table cell.  I have tried a variety
of things, all of which leave me with (as near as I can tell) a single line
that wraps as many times as necessary in order to fit within the width of
the cell.

I have tried a <para> with <address> markup, a <para> without markup, a
<literallayout> without markup, morerows="n".  None of these has produced
adequate results.  Is there anyone that can provide me with some guidance?
I have provided a couple of examples below....

<entry><para>Name
Address
Street
City, State  Zip</para></entry>

<entry><literallayout>
Name
Address
Street
City, State  Zip</literallayout></entry>

<entry><para><address>...
...
...</address></para></entry>

<entry morerows="5"><para>Name
Address
City, State  Zip
phone</para><entry>

Thanks,
Lane.
