No, if you want greater control over tables you need to write them in docbook, which can be embedded in quickbook:

If you can suggest changes to the generated table that avoids this warning, it might be possible to improve the output, but we don't use fop nowadays (the pdfs are generated using xep) so supporting it isn't a priority.
We are kind of locked with fop for now. I played around with something like: [template col_width[number width]'''<colspec colname="c'''[number]'''" colnum="'''[number]'''" colwidth="'''[width]'''"/>'''] [table:id A Simple Table [col_width 1..3*] [col_width 2..*] [col_width 3..4*] [[Heading 1] [Heading 2] [Heading 3]] [[R0-C0] [R0-C1] [R0-C2]] [[R1-C0] [R1-C1] [R1-C2]] [[R2-C0] [R2-C1] [R2-C2]] ] Which is a terrible syntax, and does not work either. Depending on where I put the template invocation, it ends up in the table title or as a separate row. Or causes a parse error. It orrucred to me that I cannot write something like: [mytable:id A clumsy table with size specs [[3] [1] [4]] [[Heading 1] [Heading 2] [Heading 3]] [[R0-C0] [R0-C1] [R0-C2]] [[R1-C0] [R1-C1] [R1-C2]] [[R2-C0] [R2-C1] [R2-C2]] ] [template mytable[title colspec ...] '''<table '''[if id ['''id="'''[id]'''"][]'''> <title>'''[titlte]'''</title> <tgroup cols="''[count [arg_0]]'''"/ [foreach [item] in [colspec] '''<colspec colname="c'''[index]'''" colnum="'''[item]'''" colwidth="'''[item]'''"/>'''] [unrollrows [args]] </tgroup> </table>'''] [template unlrollrows[] ] [template unlrollrows[row ...] '''<row>[foreach [item] in [row] ''' <entry>'''[item]'''</entry>''']'''</row>''' [unrollrows [args]] ]
