Hi Frank,
For HTML table markup in DocBook, the DocBook Technical Committee tried
to maintain compatibility with the HTML standard, the W3C spec for HTML
tables, which allows percent and pixels (an integer interpreted as
pixels). To extend this, the stylesheets support a processing
instruction to specify table width. The stylesheet will copy that value
to the width attribute using whatever units you supply. See this reference:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Tables.html#TableWidth
If you use Cals tables, you can use a processing instruction for the
table width and also use typographical units in column specs.

Hello!
I’d like to make a request regarding the width tribute on the table
element. It kind of surprises me that only percent values are allowed
according to e.g. http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/html.table.html
I’d like to suggest that other units should be allowed too, namely em,
px and pt. Is there any particular reason to only allow percent values?
Thank you!
