Hello,
In Arbortext when I try to span 2 cells in a table my entry gets a attribute colsep="1". I don't need colsep attribute to be inserted when I span 2 cells. Is there a way to turn this off?

Hello Brandon,
ArborText version is 5.3 and I tried it in our DTD that uses CALS table model. I also tried it on DocBook DTD and the sample attached uses docbook DTD.
You will notice 2 tables - the first one without cell span and the next one with cells span.
Before spanning
<tgroup cols="2">
<colspec colname="col1"/">
<colspec colname="col2"/">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>Cell 1</entry>
<entry>Cell 2</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>Cell 3</entry>
<entry>Cell 4</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
After the spanning it markup changes like:
<tgroup cols="2">
<colspec colname="col1"/">
<colspec colname="col2"/">
<tbody>
<row>
<entry colsep="1" nameend="col2" namest="col1"<br"/>>Cell 1</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry colsep="1" nameend="col2" namest="col1"<br"/>>Cell 3</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
Thanks,
Karthik
Thank you so much Brandon for trying this. Both of us did exactly the same thing and we are seeing different result.
I found one thing today - When I spanned the cell on AT 5.3 M010 it puts colsep. However when I tried it os AT 5.4 it does not put colsep. May be this is because of the patch.
