    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Defines, when <sgmltag>segmentedlist</sgmltag>s are presented

    in tabular form, whether the column widths are automatically sized

    by latex. The allowed values are:</para>

                xpointer="autowidth-items"

                xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" />

    <para>In addition to these keywords,

    <parameter>autowidth</parameter> can also take for its value

    keywords of the form <literal>column:

    <replaceable>N</replaceable><replaceable>

    ...</replaceable></literal>, where <replaceable>N</replaceable> is

    the number of the column (counting from 1) which is to have its

    width automatically sized.  Columns with numbers not referenced,

    and not otherwise sized, will all have widths equally apportioned

    from available space.</para>

    <para>The <sgmltag class="xmlpi">dblatex
