<refpurpose>Calculate an XSL FO table column width specification from a CALS
table column width specification.</refpurpose>
</refnamediv>
<refdescription>
<para>CALS expresses table column widths in the following basic
forms:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>99.99units</emphasis>, a fixed length specifier.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>99.99</emphasis>, a fixed length specifier without any
units.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>99.99*</emphasis>, a relative length specifier.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>99.99*+99.99units</emphasis>, a combination of
both.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The CALS units are points (pt), picas (pi), centimeters (cm),
millimeters (mm), and inches (in). These are the same units as XSL, except
that XSL abbreviates picas "pc" instead of "pi". If a length specifier has
no units, the CALS default unit (pt) is assumed.</para>
<para>Relative length specifiers are represented in XSL with the
proportional-column-width() function.</para>
<para>Here are some examples:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>"36pt" becomes "36pt"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>"3pi" becomes "3pc"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>"36" becomes "36pt"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>"3*" becomes "proportional-column-width(3)"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>"3*+2pi" becomes "proportional-column-width(3)+2pc"</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>"1*+2" becomes "proportional-column-width(1)+2pt"</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</refdescription>
<refparameter>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>colwidth</term>
<listitem>
<para>The CALS column width specification.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
