Hi, In an earlier thread I mentioned that I am using quickbook to write software design specification/documentation. The whole document grows nicely now. Since more people are contributing, I added howto chapters to the end of the document, including some kind of guided quickbook skeleton for new chapters and the quickbook documentation itself. The quickbook documentation creates warnings with fop: Mar 12, 2012 8:11:46 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent WARNING: table-layout="fixed" and column-width unspecified => falling back to proportional-column-width(1) (See position 1686:869) Mar 12, 2012 8:11:46 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent WARNING: table-layout="fixed" and column-width unspecified => falling back to proportional-column-width(1) (See position 1686:905) Mar 12, 2012 8:11:46 PM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent WARNING: table-layout="fixed" and column-width unspecified => falling back to proportional-column-width(1) (See position 1896:796) and more. That happens for every table. Inside the documentation about tables there one containing hello world source. There the proportional column width makes the source code leave the table and text area of the page. Is there a yet undocumented way to control column sizes? regards Andreas
