RE: FW: xsl code to create tables of different number columns and rows

Martie, you don't mention how you want output to be formatted. Since there are fewer tgroup/@cols than row/entry I assume you want to coalesce one or more of the latter, nd use colspan on the resulting output. Thus consider looking at the tgroup/@cols metadata to output the appropriate HTML colspan.

As a respondent suggested in a different thread, first create your output HTML by hand to get it how you want it to look. From there it should be fairly routine to generate that format from input XML.

Subject: [xsl] FW: xsl code to create tables of different number columns and rows

Hi
I am using Windows XP; Stylus Studio to create a style sheet to display documents as HTML. The schema I use is a given - I cannot change it. My problem: How do I create a style for tables that is not the same amount of columns & rows. The code from the xml file will probably explain better:

<table>
<tgroup cols="2"><colspec colname="col1"/><colspec colname="col2"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>column1rowa</entry>
<entry>column2rowa</entry>
<entry>column3rowa</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowb</entry>
<entry>column2rowb</entry>
<entry>column3rowb</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
<table>
<tgroup cols="3"><colspec colname="col1"/><colspec colname="col2"/><colspec colname="col3"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>column1rowa</entry>
<entry>column2rowa</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowb</entry>
<entry>column2rowb</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>column1rowc</entry>
<entry>column2rowc</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>

I do not have the faintest idea how to get a style sheet that can produce tables from this code. Can anyone help please.
