DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: table visible in html, not in pdf

[Stephen <stephen at concord dot org>]

Thanks Bob!

Your tip inspired me to learn about how to use the customization features.

My table appears now but the ulink hrefs are formatted in an ugly manner, they are too long to fit easily in a table cell and they actually appear as follows:

CCProbe.exe
[http://concord.org/ccprobeware/
                   ccprobe/down-
                           load/
ccprobe-palmos/CCProbe.exe]

Ugly is one problem but download" actually got hyphenated :-)

I'll look for the cause and try out some more customization.

----

I'm getting the following error:

[ERROR]: Error in content-height property value '50%': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined

It seems to be generated by the following type of xml:

  <imagedata fileref="images/png/gs-7-1.png" format="PNG" scale="50"/>

This also looks like a feature not supported by fop.

----

I suppressed the following warning:

[WARN]: property - "last-line-end-indent" is not implemented yet.

by commenting out the offending lines in toc and autotoc.xsl in my customization file.  While not seeing all the warnings makes it easier to focus on the more important problems I wonder if this is a bad strategy.  I'll need to pay attention to when fop supports this property and remove my customizations.
