[XXE] checkColspecs & adjustColspecs

[Thomas Dumm]

Dear Mr Shafie,
 
I have a question concerning Table-Editing. I manage to edit CALS-Tables
with the Table-Editor. But I would like that XMLMind automatically
inserts/deletes a an element "colspec" if an column is inserted/deleted. 

I found something on the web
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/8905), but it does
not work. I know that you are not responsible for other peoples code, but
maybe you see why the code does not work. Any help would be great, as this
is beyond my Xpath, etc abilities. As I said: The CALS-Table-Editor
(insering/deleting, etc) works fine. But custom.checkColspecs does not seem
to cause any action.

By the way: Are there any feature anhancements in the
"com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.tableedit.GenericTableEdit" in XMLMind Version 4? 

Kindest regards from Z?rich where I keep my fingers crossed for the French
who play tomorrow in Z?rich against Italy :-)
