RE: [xsl] FW: xsl code to create tables of different number columns and rows

["Martie Kruger" <MartinaKr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aron
I am sorry, I provided the wrong code - please look at this again. In the
first table there is 3 columns, and in the second table 2. Throughout the book
there can be a number of tables with different amount of columns/rows. Thus, I
have to create a template that can interpret the   cols="?"  attribute and for
each instance create a table with that amount of columns. Do I describe it
right? I am not good (yet) with xml or html. If I create an html table first,
how do I then apply the tgroup/@cols to that?

<table>
<tgroup cols="3"><colspec colname="col1"/><colspec colname="col2"/><colspec
colname="col3"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>column1rowa</entry>
<entry>column2rowa</entry>
<entry>column3rowa</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowb</entry>
<entry>column2rowb</entry>
<entry>column3rowb</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
<table>
<tgroup cols="2"><colspec colname="col1"/><colspec colname="col2"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>column1rowa</entry>
<entry>column2rowa</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowb</entry>
<entry>column2rowb</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowc</entry>
<entry>column2rowc</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>

Martie, you don't mention how you want output to be formatted.  Since there
are fewer tgroup/@cols than row/entry I assume you want to coalesce one or
more of the latter, nd use colspan on the resulting output.  Thus consider
looking at the tgroup/@cols metadata to output the appropriate HTML colspan.

As a respondent suggested in a different thread, first create your output
HTML by hand to get it how you want it to look.  From there it should be
fairly routine to generate that format from input XML.

Regards,

--A
