I am enclosing the XSLT code. In this, I am only stripping the proportional unit indicator "*" from the CALS colwidth value. This stylesheet excerpt as it stands is returning "Error" for the variable "rest" and so the whole calculation won't work. Also, the "self" variable is giving me an empty value.... (I tried with Saxon 6.02 or Saxon 6.3) <!-- Nested tables: no frame --> <xsl:template match="entrytbl"> <td><table> <xsl:attribute name="border">0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="class">color</xsl:attribute> <xsl:if test="boolean(colspec[@colwidth]) or colspec[@align]"> <colgroup> <xsl:call-template name="make.colgroup"/> </colgroup> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates/> </table></td> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="make.colgroup"> <xsl:for-each select="colspec"> <col> <!-- grab alignment --> <xsl:if test="@align"> <xsl:attribute name="align"> <xsl:value-of select="@align"/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <!-- read in value of column width --> <xsl:if test="@colwidth"> <xsl:variable name="width"> <xsl:call-template name="calculate.colwidth"> <xsl:with-param name="context" select="../colspec"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:attribute name="width"> <xsl:value-of select="concat($width,'%')"/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> </col> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <!-- the context of this named template will be colspec --> <xsl:template name="calculate.colwidth"> <xsl:param name="context"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$context"> <xsl:variable name="first"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$context[1]/@colwidth"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="rest"> <xsl:call-template name="calculate.colwidth"> <xsl:with-param name="context" select="$context[position()!=1]/@colwidth"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="sum"> <xsl:value-of select="$first + $rest"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="sum-as-number"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($sum, '*')"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="self"> <xsl:variable name="widthval"> <xsl:value-of select="@colwidth"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($widthval, '*')"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$rest"/> <!-- what I really want is: --> <!--xsl:value-of select="round(($self div $sum-as-number) * 97)"/--> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>Error</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> What am I doing wrong?
