Subject: [xsl] Re: different styles on element From: Nathan Shaw <n8_shaw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 06:51:36 -0700 (PDT) |
Hi Abhishek, I think you are on the right track with using modes. You should not have to add anything to your xml document in order to use modes, as long as you can create a set of rules for the modes to follow, that is... If you want to apply different stylings to the same element somewhat randomly (no pattern), I think you will have to add the formatting to the xml document. However, if you can establish some rules, you could use modes and/or template matching based on position to accomplish what you are trying to do. --Nate ----------------------------------------------------- How is it possible to apply different styles/formatting to an xml element in different parts of the XML document for a resulting FO document. For e.g. I have an element i.e. say - <SectionHeading> Now of course the XSL Template that matches this element will apply to the element. How would it be possible to define different FO style/block/layout/spacing to the XML elements of the same name in different parts of the FO document that is to be created. (Eventually to PDF). I know that one way would be to change the XML element tag names to something else and apply templates based on that. But we want to MAINTAIN the documents "content" model. But want to be able to apply varied types of styling by editing the XSLs. One way I was thinking was to apply "modes" but that would mean that I would have to add "modes" to the XML document. Another one I was thinking was some kind of COUNT (like in a programming language) where elements whose counts are within different ranges are worked on by different formatting/layout blocks. Of course my stylesheets would get really complicated. Can someone suggest some ideas for this WITHOUT any changes to the XML data and element model. Please do let me know or point me to a tutorial/reference to do this without complicating my stylesheet and life a lot. Thanks in advance.
