Hi Guys, This is a combination of PassiveTeX observations and DocBook XSL/PassiveTeX questions. I've been trying to find a workaround for the one remaining table/informaltable problems I've had with PassiveTeX: the disappearing left border. I found that I can produce a table that looks correct in the PDF if I add an empty column to the left-hand side (increment the cols attribute by one, specify a colspec with a 0pt, and specify the colwidth as 0pt), I get a correct looking output. The attached tar.gz contains files table.fo and table.pdf, which demonstrate this. Unfortunately, as table.html demonstrates, the extra column makes for a rather odd looking html table border. So, I thought I'd use the role attribute and apply the table templates via my customization layer. I built two versions of the table in my test document--one with five columns and one with the sixth, empty column. I assigned role="pdf" to the six-column table and role="html" to the five column table. In my html customization layer, I added <xsl:template match="table"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@role='html'"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@role='pdf'" select="0"/> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> To my fo customization layer, I added the converse: <xsl:template match="table"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@role='pdf'"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@role='html'" select="0"/> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> For the html, this worked. It processed through the five column table. For the pdf, it worked (in so far as it attached the left border), but created a new problem. The table caption and the top line got lopped off (see table2.fo and table2.pdf in the attached tar.gz). Any idea why this didn't work? Thanks.
