I'd just ignore the numcols and numrows attributes. You don't need them to turn this XML into an table in HTML or XSL-FO. Just think of the mapping between the elements in your XML and the HTML or XSL-FO you want to create. For example for HTML: table => table column_info => th row => tr column => td Then for each of those mappings create a template: <xsl:template match="table"> <table> <caption><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></caption> <tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="column_info" /> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="row" /> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="column_info"> <th><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></th> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="row"> <tr><xsl:apply-templates /></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="column"> <td><xsl:apply-templates /></td> </xsl:template> Something similar would apply for XSL-FO, but the names of the elements that you generate would be different.
