<p class="MsoNormal">Hi folks:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found this discussion from 2008: <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/message/1279946#1279946">
https://forums.adobe.com/message/1279946#1279946</a>, and this helpful answer from Russ Ward in 2010:
<a href="https://forums.adobe.com/thread/577820?tstart=0">https://forums.adobe.com/thread/577820?tstart=0</a>, but I don’t see the solution that I’m looking for. My manager (a software development guy) would like to create an XML file that I can import into
FrameMaker that doesn’t specify the width of each column. He’s taking output from Jira, and people can create tables in the Description field there, but he has no way of knowing how wide the columns are. He figures that if HTML can automatically size the columns
to suit the contents, surely FrameMaker can do this too (I’m not so sure). <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve tried it myself, and the column widths in the table template apply when you don’t specify widths in XML. If you have more columns than are in your template, it seems to use the width of the last templated column. And the tables might
contain graphics as well as text.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have any better ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m using FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7. I think my manager is using Perl or some other scripting language. Jira outputs HTML as well as some other text format.<o:p></o:p></p>
