Subject: [xsl] How to calculate column number of the entry? From: Toshihiko Makita <tmakita@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 12:03:38 +0900 |
I am developing DocBook table to XSL-FO stylesheet. It is not specialized for specific user use. It should be a general stylesheet.
<colspec colname="col1" colwidth="1*"/> <colspec colname="col2" colwidth="2*" align="right"/> <colspec colname="col3" colwidth="2*"/>
2. Usually XSL-FO property is inherited from fo:table-and-caption ==> fo:table ==> fo:table-header, fo:table-footer, fo:table-body ==> fo:table-row ==> fo:table-cell. However I want to apply colspec/@align attribute using from-table-column() function to fo:table-cell *only* when it is defined in colspec element. In the above example, I want to apply text-align="right" to the fo:table-cell only when its column number is 2.
<fo:table-cell text-align="from-table-column()"> ... </fo:table-cell)
3. To know colspec/@align is defined or not in colspec, it is necessary to know what column number current entry is. The entry element defines colname, namest or spanname attribute. If one of them is specified, the stylesheet can calculate column number from the attribute value. But these attributes are not mandatory.
4. If above attributes are not defined in the entry element, the stylesheet must calculate the column number by itself. I think it is easy when the table has no row spans. If there are row spans, it may be impossible for stylesheet to calculate the correct column number.
Is there any elegant way to get the column number of the entry element in stylesheet? Or is there any misunderstanding in my assumption?
