[xsl] Noob: Just a simple table, but 18 columns, help?

["Barry van Weldam" <barry@xxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

Just starting out with XSL-FO to produce a .pdf out of an .xml file. Bought O'reilly s book on XSL-fo etc.

Basicly what i need to do is to make a nice lay-out for very "uninspiring" data. I need 18 colomuns, some colums need to
be more than 15 chars width.

So this is what i have now:

- landscape the  simple-page-master
- a table with 18 columns width set to 100%
- use a font-size of 9 px
- a header that is on each page
- rows filled by <xsl: value-of select......

But i am not pleased with the result, to small not user friendly.

So my question: is it possible to break the table into 2 * 9 columns and fill it any other suggestions are welcome

thanks in advanced,
