Re: [docbook-apps] Displaying sections in 2 columns for HTML chunk output
Hi Maxime:

I haven't tried this, but....

Are you using the standard Docbook stylesheets?

I've had good success using custom stylesheets that incorporate
descendant selectors. Use float: left, and float: right in the rule
body to select positioning. Try using sect1 for the left column, and
sect2 for the right column. You might also need sect3 to generate
clear:both. I've found that adding "border: thin solid red" helps
visualize the resulting box model.

I'm sure there's also something that you can do with tables, but I
think that it's a bit more complex, and requires more thought.

Should all else fail, consider post processing with a separate stylesheet, or... Perl!

Bueno suerte,

Hello,

I'm chunking an article document by sections of level 1. I would like
to display the child sections(level2) into a table having two columns :

section1.1            section1.2

 content of 1.1        content of 1.2

section1.3        
   section1.4

 content of 1.3        content of 1.4

 

section1.5            ...

 content of 1.5

...

I tried different things that broke the
chunking of the sections in the output(no files are generated for the
sections).

Does anyone knows a way to do such a thing?

 

Thanks a lot!
