RE: [xsl] FOP table formatting problem

["Seaborne, Mark" <Mark_Seaborne@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it is just a matter of FOP not yet being a full implementation of
XSL-FO. It is getting steadily better though. You might have better luck
trying one of the commercial implemetations listed on the W3C XSL-FO page.

All the best

Thanks Mark, appreciate the tip - it works!

I'm really surprised, though, that the fo tags for row spanning don't work
- even for the samples available on the w3c site. Has anyone else also run
into the same problem?

I don't know whether it is a particularly good method, but I have resorted
to nesting tables inside each other to acheive this effect.

Does anyone using FOP know what I'm doing wrong  - how I can ensure a
particular column spans 2 rows? Using Fop (0.18.1), I get an error message
saying

" [2WARNING: Number of cell columns under table-row not equal to number of
table-
columns]"

and the entire row is eliminated in the PDF output. Tried using the Table
test cases on Renderx and the w3c FOP site (table_spans.fo) but still get
the same problem.

Would really appreciate any ideas on how to get around this?
Thanks
amit
