Hi,

In my DocBook source I have something like:

 <informaltable>
   <tgroup cols="4">
     <colspec colwidth="10*"/>
     <colspec colwidth="15*"/>
     <colspec colwidth="40*"/>
     <colspec colwidth="35*"/>

These do not mean percentages. "meaning this column should be number
times wider than a column with the measure “1*” (or just “*”)"[1]

My Englesioh could be just that bad though and that really should be
percentages, in which case there is interesting bug in PhD :)

Actually, I think it's just me. :)

Using 4x* causes 25% to be allocated to each column. I think what I was trying to write was:

    <tgroup cols="4">
      <colspec colwidth="10%"/>
      <colspec colwidth="15%"/>
      <colspec colwidth="40%"/>
      <colspec colwidth="35%"/>

That seems to work fine.

I got there in the end!

Thanks a lot,
Tony
