RE: [xsl] maximum depth of nested tags needed for colspan

[bryan.s.schnabel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Andy,

I don't think I completely understand your follow-on question as it relates
to the example.  But I think you're on the right track.  The count()
function that sets $colcount would need to be rationalized with the
occurrence of nested sibling <question>s.  I can think of a few ways to do
this, but I'm afraid I'd be guessing about where you want the extra
<question> elements to wind up in the table.

If you could show me this, I'd try to help.

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Quite an effort you put in the XSLT. Thanks!
Would it be possible to have a similar output when you change the input
xml even more. For example, you could have nested question-tags, but a
certain question tag could have more children on the same level...
In that case, your 'count' statements would also count these questions
while they shouldn't have been included in the sum because they're still
at the same level... right? This would be the XML (again haven't checked
it, but you know what I mean):

<a>
  <b>
    <question>
       <c/>
      <question>
         <d/>
        <question>
          <e/>
        </question>
      </question>
    </question>
  </b>
  <f>
    <question>
      <question>
        <question>
          <question><x/></question>
          <question><x/></question>
          <question>
            <question><x/></question>
            <question><x/></question>
            <question><x/></question>
            <g/>
          </question>
        </question>
      </question>
    </question>
  </f>
</a>
