I can understand the rationale of making table cells as wide as possible by default to ease editing within cells. However, I think the closer that you can render the table in XXE to the final rendered product is a good thing. I think that adding support for the pgwide attribute (or a corresponding css attribute on table-body) will save some unnecessary iteration between editing and rendering a document to get the tables to look correct.

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
