Re: [docbook-apps] Displaying sections in 2 columns for HTML chunkoutput

Hello,

I tried the "float" thing with CSS but I didn't use "clear" so my
result was not usable. Anyway I found another(better somehow) way to
display my content.

Thanks a lot, I'll keep this under my arm.

cya,

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,

jec

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!
