Subject: Re: [xsl] Question about table column width in XSLT/XSLFO From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:34:16 -0400 |
Thank you for your response Ken. I was able to work out a solution for XSLT.
I'm assuming that you mean, above, "for HTML" ... I'm not sure what it means to say you have a "solution for XSLT".
I am having an issue with XSLFO though. Converting CALS to PDF. Specially with the column span attribute. How do I calculate column span using namest and namend from cals for XSLFO? It seems simpler in XSLT, but I am lost with XSLFO.
Perhaps I'm confused ... what do you mean by "in XSLT"? One usually uses XSLT to create an instance of XSL-FO. But the same is true for creating an instance of HTML, so again I'll assume you have already solved your problem for HTML.
And if you already have the answer for HTML using XSLT, then you are already calculating the number of columns spanned by dereferencing the named column for nameend from the named column for namest. Something like the following untested snippet:
colspan="{ count( ancestor::table[1]/colspec[name=current()/@nameend]/ preceding-sibling::colspec ) - count( ancestor::table[1]/colspec[name=current()/@namest]/ preceding-sibling::colspec ) + 1 }"
Just do the same in XSL-FO for number-columns-spanned= ... I don't see any difference between the two for spanning columns of a table cell. When I've had to work with nameend= and namest= I've used something along the lines of the above with easy success.
I'm not sure why the calculation you are already doing for HTML isn't working for XSL-FO.
