RE: [xsl] Dynamic Table

[Marian Olteanu <mou_softwin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try this:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:param name="widthTable" select="3"/>
<xsl:param name="widthCell" select="3"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<table>
		<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;tr&gt;</xsl:text>
		<xsl:call-template name="processNode">
			<xsl:with-param name="node" select="/domain/variable[1]"/>
			<xsl:with-param name="usedCols" select="0"/>
		</xsl:call-template>
		<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/tr&gt;</xsl:text>
	</table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="processNode">
	<xsl:param name="node"/>
	<xsl:param name="usedCols" select="0"/>
	
	<xsl:variable name="nodeWidth" select="string-length( normalize-space( $node/text() ) )"/>
	<xsl:variable name="nodeWidthInCells">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="$nodeWidth mod $widthCell = 0">
				<xsl:value-of select="$nodeWidth div $widthCell"/>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:value-of select="1 + floor($nodeWidth div $widthCell)"/>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:variable>
	<!-- check if new line -->
	<xsl:if	test="( $widthTable - $usedCols ) &lt; $nodeWidthInCells ">
		<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/tr&gt;</xsl:text>
		<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;tr&gt;</xsl:text>
	</xsl:if>

	<td>
		<xsl:if test="$nodeWidthInCells &gt; 1">
			<xsl:attribute name="colspan">
				<xsl:value-of select="$nodeWidthInCells"/>
			</xsl:attribute>
		</xsl:if>
		<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space( $node/text() )"/>
	</td>


	<xsl:if test="$node/following-sibling::variable[1]">
		<xsl:call-template name="processNode">
			<xsl:with-param name="node" select="$node/following-sibling::variable[1]"/>
			<xsl:with-param name="usedCols">

				</xsl:choose>
			</xsl:with-param>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
