  • 1.  height of rows in tables

    Posted 09-21-2006 18:43
    Hi

    Is there anyway I can specify the height of a row in a table? Rather like

    <colspec colname="c8" colwidth="2.5*"/>

    I see no way in CALS to control this. <rowsep> of course just
    controls ruling below.

    One possibility: is there any way I could customize the size of text
    in a row - perhaps using something like <row mode="narrow"> - or even
    <entry mode="narrow">

    What I'm trying to do is separate sub-tables within a table with
    narrow columns and empty rows (with appropriate <colsep> and
    <rowsep>). I don't want to use tables within tables to do this as
    there are about 250 of these sub-tables.

    Any suggestions appreciated.
