docbook-apps

Hi all,

I've got my tables almost totally perfect. I just have one more question (I
hope!). There seems to be some kind of padding or spacing below each row
that adds unattractive vertical space between the rows. I could not find a
way to adjust this distance in any documentation. I have decreased the cell
padding, but that does not get rid of the extra space between the rows.

I'm using docbook-xsl-1.74.0, saxon 6.5.5, xep

I'll try to illustrate what it looks like:

________________________________
Header Row
________________________________

What I would like:

________________________________
*Header Row

*Here are my customizations:

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.cell.padding">
<xsl:attribute name="padding-left">2pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="padding-right">5pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="padding-top">2pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="padding-bottom">0pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

And here is a snippet of my xml:

<informaltable frame="topbot">
<tgroup cols="7" colsep="0" rowsep="0">
<colspec colname="c1"/>
<colspec colname="c2"/>
<colspec colname="c3"/>
<colspec colname="c4"/>
<colspec colname="c5"/>
<colspec colname="c6"/>
<colspec colname="c7"/>

<row>
<entry>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Header Row</emphasis>
</para>
</entry>


Thanks!

Lillian

I can't reproduce this. I don't see any excessive padding between table rows
(using uncustomized DocBook-XSL 1.74.0 and XEP 4.13).

Do you have other customizations besides the table.cell.padding
attribute-set?

It might help if you posted a complete and valid (but small!) test document,
instead of just a snippet.
