Hi,
I am trying to write a document in docbook, but I'm having some
trouble
getting the tables to generate properly when output to PDF.
I use the following command to generate an .fo file
xsltproc --xinclude -o /var/www/catalogue/
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/html/chunk.xsl
catalogue.sgml
I think you pasted the wrong command line into your
mail. This command uses the HTML chunking stylesheet,
and won't produce FO output.
and then i run pdfxmltex on the fo file to produce a pdf.
The problem i am having is with how the tables in my document are
rendered in
the PDF. It seems to ignore all the directives i give it regarding
text
alignment within the cell and also the cell and frame border
thicknesses.
I'm using docbook 4.2
Is there known problems with generating tables in pdfs?
PassiveTeX does have problems formatting tables properly.

You might be better off using FOP instead.
