RE: [docbook-apps] tablecolumns.extension

|    I discover today that I cannot use libxml2 anymore because
|  tablecolumns.extension is not supported for this XSL engine.
|  
|    I am reading the documentation for the option at:
|  
|  http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/tab
|  lecolumns.extension.html
|  
|    I do not really understand what this refer to ? Does anyone knows
|  what this extension is supposed to do (it is on by default).


See these references:

Most of the DocBook XSL extensions require Saxon or Xalan. The only non-Java
extension is tablecolumns.extension, which is implemented in Python using
the Python bindings for libxml2/libxslt. Maybe you can use that. See
extensions/README.LIBXSLT in the DocBook-XSL distribution for more
information.
