Hi Mike, So you have a custom implementation of the Docbook schemas which allow you to specify the "width" on a table with a "frame" attribute. We analyzed this situation (the table size is properly computed and displayed but the columns do not take the additional space) which seems to be a bug in Oxygen and we'll try to come up with a fix in the next version (probably it September this year). Unfortunately I cannot give you a workaround for now.

Hello all.
I am working on customizing DocBook for our publishing department. I have a difficulty displaying tables in Author mode with “width” set in percents. The table itself is displayed fine with width corresponding to % of the page set in width attribute, but the columns are displayed as much narrower. There is a big chunk of empty space on the right that’s not taken up but the columns.
As soon as I change tables width to a set value like 500 the columns expand and take up the whole table space.
Example below. Try pasting it and seeing how it gets displayed in oXygen. I know that DocBook schema bundled with Oxygen complains about width attribute but it is supported by HTML tables and there are rules for it in CSS.
How can I fix this. I tried playing with CSS but could not find any solution. I looked at the API and there is some interfaces that seem to be able to help with this but It seems pretty complicated. I need some help getting started.
