Hi chregu

I'm now trying to "convert" the tables elements, I saw that bxe's
using the xhtml elements for those and (from my observations) the
process seems to be external to any relaxng...

Yes, relaxng doesn't know anything about "tables", we would have to ad proprietary extensions to relaxng for that (i don't say, it's a no go area ;) )

> I think I understand
why you use xhtml (for diplaying in browser, no??)

xhtml is well known and easy to do for a browser and yes, the browser just understands the concept of tables and imgs this way ,)


In this case, can I really replace the docbook tables elements (I
mean, the mozilla won't be able to parse the table with docbook
elements as it parses the xhtml elements).

yeah, you can replace them.

I was searching a solution with some tricky css ( but I think it
isn't correct...), so my question is: Is there a possibility and in
the this case could you help me to direct my researches.

if you use the css "display" properties for your table elements (like "table-cell") it should be possible to do it. the underlying mozile-editor does honor them (or at least should).

We could certainly do the table-editing stuff more general, there are some hardcoded "td/tr/table" references in the code, which should be replaced...

Have pleasant journey
