Re: [xsl] DITA tables to SVG

["rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A little further background: I have a series of DITA topics that need to be
combined in a single chapter and opened with Adobe FrameMaker. FrameMaker is
choking when trying to open the chapter (it has over 300 tables in it). The
client is fine with having the tables as SVG graphics because the text renders
as text in the resulting PDF. And thus my proposed task.

Thanks for all of the generous replies. I did more investigation on the svg
format and, as Liam said, it is a format for rendering graphics. I need to
render some dense tables as graphics and I have some examples that I can
reverse engineer. Thanks again.

SVG doesn't really have tabular data. It's a vector graphics format.

Are you sure you mean SVG and not CSV?  Or are you trying to plot a graph or
turn the table into a diagram of some sort?
