<para>This is technical reference documentation for the DocBook XSL
Stylesheets; it documents (some of) the parameters, templates, and
other elements of the stylesheets.</para>
<para>This is not intended to be <quote>user</quote> documentation.
It is provided for developers writing customization layers for the
stylesheets, and for anyone who's interested in <quote>how it
works</quote>.</para>
<para>Although I am trying to be thorough, this documentation is known
to be incomplete. Don't forget to read the source, too :-)</para>

<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>
