Subject: Re: [xsl] Table structure checking, how? From: "Wendell Piez wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 19:56:33 -0000 |
Michael, Take a look here: https://github.com/wendellpiez/JATSPreviewStylesheets (If you have trouble seeing it let me know.) In particular you can see code inside the Schematron branch, although you will also need the XSLT branch. Its approach is to create a normalized expanded version of the table against which rules can be checked. Then your actual table elements (rows and cells) can refer into the expansion, as a kind of map. (So, the Schematron can call XPath as supplemented by XSLT.) This includes indicators of cell row and column coverage as well as creation of the ghost table cells that are a notable feature of OASIS/CALS tables. If nothing else this may be worth looking at. You may need to tweak your settings in Schematron to allow-foreign elements (for the XSLT bits). Enjoy, Wendell On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 3:38 AM, Michael MC<ller-Hillebrand mmh@xxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi folks, > > We came across a CALS table with a "missing" cell in the first row, like this: > > <tgroup cols="2"> > <tbody> > <row> > <entry colname="col1" morerows="1"><p>Text</p></entry> > <!-- MISSING second column cell --> > </row> > <row> > <!-- skipped first cell because of morerows --> > <entry colname="col2"><p>Text</p></entry> > </row> > </tbody> > </tgroup> > > This table is technically valid, but creates problems when processed further. > > Are you aware of a tool or method to check that the table data is correct regarding any available colspan or rowspan definitions?
