581.0. "Overlaping Columns in <TABLE> tag" by PION::COSMANTEGNA (here today, gone tomorrow) Wed Jul 01 1987 04:35

    I have copiled the following '.GNC' file using the 'MANUAL' design
    parameter and find that columns 3 and 4 overlap.
    
    
<TABLE>       
<TABLE_ATTRIBUTES>(MULTIPAGE\WIDE)
<TABLE_SETUP>(4\5\20\20)
<TABLE_HEADS>(Item\Details\Project Baseline\Customer Statement)
<TABLE_ROW>( 1\Maximum number of BOQ items in a tender ?\25000(excludes Working
Headings)\50000)
<ENDTABLE>
    
    Is this a bug or a feature ?
    
    
    Question(s)	: Is there a way of defining the size of the gap between
    		  the columns without setting up dummy columns ?
    
    		:  How does Document obtain the default size of the
		   line when calculating the last column ? , and can
    		   this be modified accordingly within a document ?
    
    Desires     :  Would be nice if <TABLE> items had a <LIST> facility
    
    
Regards

    Which device did you use? Postscript and LN03 output looked ok here.

    Not at the SDML level.

    The overall width of the column depends on the size of the text area,
    which varies from doctype to doctype. You can extend that with the wide
    attribute; this pushes the table out to the left margin. The width of
    the last column is what's left over after space for the preceding
    columns have been allocated.

    Please elaborate.

    Please see NOTE 337 and its replies. This has already been discussed
    at great length.

    Reference .1, I have referred to Note 337 and it does seem that
    the 'SOFTWARE' doctype handles the problem.
    
    Reference .2, the device used was LN03 and we are currently running
    Document BL7 on MicroVMS 4.5.

    This refers to automatic numbering multicolumn list as already
    pointed out by note .433  . This at present has to be done manually!
