I've just converted my HOWTO into DocBook, and am having a bit of
|
|
trouble getting satisfactory table output. There are two problems;
|
|
possibly both are due to my table's structure:
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<title>Linux Printer Support</title>
|
|
<tgroup cols=5>
|
|
<thead>
|
|
<row>
|

|
|
</row>
|
|

This appears to be fine in HTML, at least as far as w3m is concerned,
|
|
but isn't quite right in Postscript/PDF: all items but the first are
|
|
placed wrong, such that the leading bullets are in the previous
|
|
column. The same sort of thing happens when I use a SimpleList
|
|
instead. A similar problem appears in varlists and a few other places
|
|
where paragraphs interact with TeX's assorted list structures.
|
|
|
|
Now that I look, enumerated lists are even worse; HOWTO-HOWTO.pdf, for
|
|
example, shows these as
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Text for one
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Text for two
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've placed a one-page sample of what I'm seeing in my table (from
|
|
simplelist and member) at <A HREF="http://www.picante.com/phtsam.ps">http://www.picante.com/phtsam.ps</A>
|
|
|
|
Also, there was a little thread about how we're using lynx for ascii
|
|
output from docbook. Please use w3m instead; it does a much better
|
|
job than lynx, especially if I ever get this table to work right! ;)
