Hi Omprakash,
Thank-you for your offer but, I'm a little far along to switch formatters. The
table width problem is not that high a priority. However if the situation
changes or we have time to spare, I'll contact you about your code.
Thanks again,
- Jerry

Subject: [xsl] xsl fo: tables : column width
Hi Jerry,
Auto-table layout is supported by only a few formatters at present. I have
written a formatter that converts a fo file with auto-layout into one having
fixed layout. I will be glad to make available to you a jar file together with
the api to invoke the formatter. Please contact me off-list if you are
interested.
My formatter takes as input an fo file and inserts the appropriate number of
fo:table-column tags along with the fo:column-width attribute with their values
populated based on the content of the table cell. At present, it supports text
and images in the table cell. The layout is very fast (though I haven't
measured it) as it uses a sophisticated adaptive step-size algorithm to do the
layouting. The layout step is in addition to the xslt transformation and the
formatting step. Also, the formatter is written using JDOM and I plan to
incorporate the layout program into a custom built formatter, possibly one that
uses SAX, sometime in the near future.
Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
I'm relatively new to FO transformations so please forgive me, if this is a
newbie question.
I am dynamically generating tables and don't know the number of columns a given
table may contain. I'd like to fix the width of the table and let the columns
size relative to the content within them. A good example would be the default
behavior of HTML tables.
Currently I am able to output tables of fixed width, but the column widths are
proportional to the table.
Here's an example of what I mean: http://simplewebservices.net/fo_table/.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry Orabona
