text width

[Luis Ferro <lf...@teladigital.pt>]

I've a table with two cells... a code and a description.

I want that the first cell has a fixed size, and the second to have the size
of the text within.

Is there some way to get the width of a text so one can supply it to the
<fo:table-column definition?

Thanx in advance...

In XSLT, you could do something like iterate over all descriptions,  
and determine the column-width based on the maximum number of  
characters, but that's not really the same. Besides, such an approach  
is only feasible in case you're using a fixed-width font :/

Since auto table-layout is not yet implemented for the moment, there  
is currently no way to let the formatter handle this, I'm afraid...


Cheers,

Andreas
