Hi,
thanks for the timely reply. The problem is your suggestion doesn't
solve my problem.
I want my xml structure when being transformed to determine for each
<OBJECT> element the creation of a corresponding <fo:table-column>
transform code snippet
<xsl:template match="TABLE">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="7.5in"
space-before.optimum="5pt">
<!--xsl:call-template name="for-loop"/-->
<!--xsl:call-template name="build-columns"/-->
<xsl:for-each select="TABLE/DPROW/OBJECT">
This should be
<xsl:for-each select="DPROW/OBJECT">
<fo:table-column column-width="{6.26 div
last()}in"/>
</xsl:for-each>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>
creates in my output hundreds of fo:table-column tags.
xml input file snippet
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="842"
OCCURENCE="2">
<DPROW>
<OBJECT ALIGN="left" WIDTH="3"/>
<OBJECT>
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0"
CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" OCCURENCE="2">
<DPROW>
<OBJECT WIDTH="4" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="211" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="273" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="48" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="92" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="82" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="6" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="6"/>
</DPROW>
For the first TABLE/DPROW/OBJECT containing two object
elements I would
need to create two corresponding fo:table-column tags and for the
second TABLE/DPROW/OBJECT containing fifteen object elements I would
need to create fifteen corresponding fo:table-column tags.
What does it create then if not that (after the fix mentioned above)?
What am I doing wrong in the XPath declaration?
It's called "XPath expression". If your stylesheet still doesn't work, please
send a complete, simplified example source document with the stylesheet you
have so far, *and* example of the desired output.
