Reply To: present an xml fragment in a table format

[Derek Read]

Just to be clear (sounds like there is still confusion), XMetaL automatically recognizes HTML and CALS tables and will render them as tables. Anything else will not render as a table unless you specifically set the CSS up to do so.

The example CSS I gave should approximate the example styling you asked for, and would not be a table:
x  |    abcd | 1234  | y

To style something as a table requires three elements: one representing the table, one the row (child of table) and at least one for cells (child of row). You can then use the CSS display properties: “table”, “table-row” and “table-cell” to designate the elements to render as a table. Your elements do not seem to fit this model however, unless “SUB2” is a child of “SUB1”.
