Good morning,
I have a list of items, e.g.:
<item>
<name>Adoreable</name>
<date>2004-12-11</date>
</item>
<item>
<name>Adjustable</name>
<date>2004-12-11</date>
</item>
<item>
<name>Bulk</name>
<date>2004-12-10</date>
</item>
<item>
<name>Condensed</name>
<date>2004-12-12</date>
</item>
<item>
<name>Compromise</name>
<date>2004-11-08</date>
</item>
and I want them to be transformed to a sorted and dynamic (columns and rows
adjustable by variables - $Columns and $Rows) HTML table (using
recent Version of Saxon and XSLT2.0). The sort element are the <date/>-Elements
(descending), so the table output had to look like this ($Columns = 2, $Rows = 2):
<table>
<tr>
<td>Condensed</td>
<td>Adjustable</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Adoreable</td>
<td>Bulk</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Compromise</td>
</tr>
</table>
If there are not enough items to fill the columns of the last row its last <td>
should
have a "colspan" attribute in order to satisfy layout requirements. No empty
rows should be created (e.g. if there are not enough items to fill all <$Rows>
rows).
As you may see there exists a second sort element (<name/>, ascending) in my
example
but this is no must-have feature.
An alternative way might be to select the first <$Columns * $Rows> items (sorted descendingly
by <date/>, of course) - but I see no solution for this, right now.
Is there a way to handle this problem with the power of XSLT?
Regards,
Jannis
