Re: How to achieve FO Table variable width with nowrap

It seems that I am having success with a table defined like this:

<table>
<table-body border-bottom="solid 1px #000">
<table-row>
<table-cell><block>Label Cell:</block></table-cell>
<table-cell><block padding-left=".05in">Value Cell</block></table-cell>
</table-row
</table-body>
</table>

Is it correct to assume that the table width will derive from the
total width of content (until it reaches parent object boundary
width)?

Or to be safe, should I conform with your option #1?
