Praveen, Yes, it is possible. The difficult part is wrapping text in cells. The easy part is padding a string to a given length: <xsl:template name="pad-string"> <xsl:param name="str"/> <xsl:param name="len"/> <xsl:param name="quad" select="'left'"/><!-- or 'right' or 'center' --> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($str) >= $len"> <xsl:value-of select="substring($str,1,$len)"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$quad = 'right'"> <xsl:call-template name="pad-string"> <xsl:with-param name="str" select="concat(' ',$str)"/> <xsl:with-param name="len" select="$len"/> <xsl:with-param name="quad" select="$quad"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$quad = 'center'"> <xsl:call-template name="pad-string"> <xsl:with-param name="str" select="concat(' ',$str,' ')"/> <xsl:with-param name="len" select="$len"/> <xsl:with-param name="quad" select="$quad"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="pad-string"> <xsl:with-param name="str" select="concat($str,' ')"/> <xsl:with-param name="len" select="$len"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> With just a little more work you could even align columns on a character (a decimal point, for example).
