Remarks

The * widths in the command »Column« allow dynamic cell widths. For that the total width of the table must be set and the attribute (on Table ) stretch must be set to max. The widths of the columns are calculated as follows: first the absolute widths are taken into account. After that, the * columns are distributed across the remaining space. The numbers before the * denote the fraction of the space. In the example below the third column gets 1/6 of the remaining width, the fourth column get 5/6.

Example

<Table>
  <Columns>
    <Column width="14mm" />
    <Column width="2" />
    <Column width="1*" align="right" valign="top" />
    <Column width="5*" />
    <Column width="5mm" background-color="gray" />
    <Tr>
       ....
    </Tr>
  </Columns>
</Table>
