Subject: Re: [xsl] converting cals table to html using xslt From: "andrew welch" <andrew.j.welch@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 4 May 2006 16:15:57 +0100 |
Hi:
I did look at the archive and at all the examples. I am actually having a hard time implementing the cals table solution.
Here is what I need to do: 1) I have a table which is in cals table format:
<table> <tgroup cols="5"> <colspec colname="c1" colwidth="1.35in"> </colspec> <colspec colname="c2" colwidth="1in"> </colspec> <colspec colname="c3" colwidth="0.75in"> </colspec> <colspec colname="c4" colwidth="1in"> </colspec> <colspec colname="c5" colwidth="0.9in"> </colspec> <tbody> <row> <entry nameend="4" namest="c3"> <text> <para> Text1 </para> </text> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table>
I need a style sheet (xslt and xslfo) in which 1)the <td> width is set to the colwidth of cals table and 2) I need to know how to handle nameest and nameend on the style sheet. My understanding is that this defines the col span. Is that a correct understanding? If so, the "text1" should span two columns.
Implementing a cals table stylesheet is no mean feat, and you seem to be at the very early stages. I would get your problem defined first - do you need to implement the whole of cals or a subset? Are you outputting to both XHTML and XSL:FO? It could be sufficient to use the Oasis table stylesheets in docbook.
It's a massive task as the cals standard is so loose - its certainly not something to undertake lightly. For example, in some circumstances to correctly work out the row and col spans you need to normlize the table first - possible but pretty much a nightmare. I don't think there's a stylesheet out there that fully implements the spec.
