(expecting my first mail didn't reach the list, apologizing if this is the
second mail with the same question)
Hi all,
I'm rendering pdf's with fop and I would like to keep all my lines/files of
xsl to a minimum.
This means I put a lot of formatting information in my xml file, something
like this:
<reportXML page-layout="portrait">
<title> Hello world </title>
<table table-layout="fixed">
<tr background-color="#CCCCCC">
<td width="10cm"
<block align="left">hello again</block>
</td>
</tr>
...
Trying to keep xsl to a minimum also means it won't include hard-coded lines
like:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="portrait">
My fo-statements (try to) use elements from the input xml, something like
this:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="<xsl:value-of
select="$page_layout"/>">
As expectd, his statement won't work.
How to accomplisch this?
ps what (technically) works, is:
<xsl:if test="@page-layout='portrait'">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="portrait">
<xsl:call-template name="continue"></xsl:call-template>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@page-layout='landscape'">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="landscape">
<xsl:call-template name="continue"></xsl:call-template>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if>
But this will overload my xsl file with if-statements (difficult to
maintain)
because I have to use this mechanism a lot.
Thanks in advance,
mathieu van echtelt
