Thankx Eliot
Lets say I have 22 rows in the body region of my
documents and then I generate the footer which
contains the page total value for that page.
But using the sum() function is xsl I am able to
generate the running total as well as the total for
the previous page as follows:
Running total:
--------------
<fo:marker marker-class-name="page-total">
<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(sum(preceding::itemprice) +
itemprice, '#,##0.00')"/>
</fo:marker>
Total for the previous page:
----------------------------
<fo:marker marker-class-name="part-sum">
<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(sum(preceding::itemprice),
'#,##0.00')"/>
</fo:marker>
Now what I actually want is the page total on this
page: which would be the value I get when I subtract
the above two values like this:
pagetotal - partsum
In XSL-FO it is not possible to do this.
So my question is even if I do know the number of rows
how do I make it sum that many number of rows?
Regards,
S
but the question is how do I tell the processor to sum

There's no direct way to do this with XSL-FO 1.0 as
there's no way to
know, in the general case, when your table will go
to a new page.
However, if the depth of your rows is fixed and the
start point of your
table is consistent then you should be able to
determine accurately how
many rows will go on a page and therefore you can
generate the "footer"
row (which will just be a normal row) as part of
your XSLT process.
XSL-FO 1.1 adds a new feature, table markers, which
allows you to use
markers in table headers and footers. This will let
you do exactly what
you want in a very direct way.
As mentioned by David C., you can also use some form
of two-pass process
depending on the features of the XSL-FO
implementation you are using.
Cheers,
E.
