I have a question about how to mark up a table properly so you get
appropriate table formatting when you transform a file to pdf. I
believe this is a markup question, not one for docbook-apps.
(Flame away!)
I have the following table in a document:
<table>
<title>Prompts</title>
<tgroup cols="1">
<thead>
<row>
<entry>Expression</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>What type of recipe do you want?</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>Who won the 1999 American League
Championship Series?</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
When I transform it to HTML, the table looks fine. When I transform
it to PDF, I get unanticipated results.
Do I need to add <colspec/> or <spanspec/> items to address this
issue? Is there something else that I am missing?
Sincerely,
Jeff
