Column Widths in Styler Sheet changed from pi to px, how?

Hi,

I am working on a stylesheet and I noticed that my HTML output has very narrow columns for the tables, when I checked them I noticed that the value for width is set to px. In the source it was set to picas.

Arbortext Editor XML

<tgroup cols="3">

<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="12.80pi"/>

<colspec colname="col2" colwidth="12.00pi"/>

<colspec colname="col3" colwidth="13.00pi"/>

Styler HTML Output

<colgroup>
<col style="width: 12.8px; ">
<col style="width: 12px; ">
<col style="width: 13px; ">
</colgroup>

Obviously, this conversion of units is way off. I am hoping there is a fix for this issue in Styler. Any ideas?

Column widths are converted to pixels in HTML type output, but as you note picas are being viewed as a 1 to 1 conversion. This is incorrect.

1pi should be 16px

Correct conversions for points is 1pt=1.3px

for inches is 1in = 96px

for mm is 1mm = 3.8px
