We don't claim to support 100% of the CALS table specification. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/docbook/docbook_table.html > Is there any way to make XXE shrink the table cells to their content? No. XXE always makes the table as wide as its window because this eases editing inside cells.
