------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 18 07:30:37 -0700 2005 ------- Are you sure this should be treated as an "enhancement"? Treating the relative column widths as "percent values" is simply wrong and not just an incomplete implementation that can later be enhanced. The treatment only works when, by accident or design, the relative widths add up to approximately 100 (once the total is close to 100, any slight error will probably go unnoticed). The Open Document specification says: "A relative width is specified by the style:rel-column-width property that takes a number value, followed by a '*' character. If rc is the relative with [sic] of the column, rs the sum of all relative columns widths, and ws the absolute width that is available for these columns, then the absolute with wc of the column is wc=rc ws/rs." Nowhere is there any suggestion that these values should be assumed to be percentage values. As I cannot find the code in question, I would guess that the error is that "rs" (the sum of all relative column widths) is being assumed to be 100 instead of being calculated correctly by summing the relative width values for each column. This use of "n*" notation for relative width values is identical to the proportional width scheme defined in the DocBook specification and assuming the values to be percentages (despite the "*" character, not the "%" character) hinders what was probably a deliberate attempt to make the specifications compatible in this respect. In the meantime, I can work around this by converting the ratios to percentage values, but this is not easy to do in what was an otherwise simple XSLT stylesheet (I might post my solution later if I can get something working). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
