Subject: [xsl] Building Dynamic width Cals Table From: Mailing Lists Mail <daktapaal@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 18:24:17 +0000 |
Hi All, I have a question regarding the building dynamic width cals table. We have an editorial system, and a publishing system (this creates intermediate XMLs, which will be then translated to HTML through XSLTs.) We have two options of how to carry out our design editorial DTD. Option1 ====== Have Cals Table in the Editorial DTD model, so editors will be able to define their content in a table , and adjust the widths of the columns etc,, This gets into the publishing system and the tables are translated to HTML and we are fine. Option 2 ====== We decide against having the tables in the DTD, because we would want to a. Not have presentation specific information in the XML b. Have the XML purely with the Semantic information... Option1, is straight forward and there is no real thinking about it.. I have doubts about the Option2.. 1. Is it correct design to *have* the presentation specific markup ( Tables etc..) in the XML.. There are people arguing for it and against it.. So would like to know from the elite members of this group, what they thiink about it.. 2. If we go ahead with *not* having the tables. We face issues with the table column width. So the stylesheets creating intermediate XMLs should be creating cals table, and should be able to work out the correct width based on the content of the column. Is there anybody out there who thinks it is possible to do this conversion without having too many issues.. 3. If we ignore "evaluating" the column width, then can we fix the column width to some intelligent guess on a fixed length and assume the HTMLs to automatically wrap the content, when the content length is more than the length of column.. so if I have <table width="700" style="table-layout:fixed> or some such thing, I should hope that the HTML should be able to autowrap, without me doing anything to fix the table width? Your help is very much appreciated in advance DT
