Question

@relcolwidth on <simpletable>

I am transforming some dita topics and adding some <simpletable> elements. I am trying to add relative column scaling with the @relcolwidth attribute:

<simpletable frame="none" relcolwidth="60* 40*">

However, when I open the topic in FrameMaker, the scaling is not applied; I always get a 50/50 column split. Anything I am missing, or will I have to post-process the tables in FrameMaker? Thanks.

Hi Rick, 

I don't see frame listed as a possible att for simpletable at 

https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/simpletable.html

Have you tried removing the frame att to see if the relcolwidth itself works?

Hi Matt, I am offsite today but will give it try tomorrow. The frame attribute is valid in Oxygen.
