Dear Patrick! Well, you were absolutely right regarding colwidth(*). It dramatically decreased a number of warnings. Thank you very much for a good solution. What surprises me though, is that there are three warnings left despite the fact that I defined the column width on all of my tables. Does the FOP consider TOC, LOF and LOT as tables? If yes, how do I specify their default width to remove all the three warnings that left?
I really appreciate your kind help! My best wishes, Nancy Patrick Paul wrote: > > Bob Stayton is absolutely right in the Docbook context.
