Hey Jay,
Thank you and sorry for the private reply!

Siarom sent me a private follow-up to ask me how to
go about creating that
table. I then replied in private. Since then, I have
thought of a better
solution (that one was more verbose and required a
node-set extension or
XSLT 2.0). And this time, I remembered to send my
reply to the list, so
that it can get into the archives.
Here's my better solution:
<xsl:template match="customersRepInfo">
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="criLine[1]"/></fo:block>
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
<fo:table-column column-width="3in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="3in"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="criLine[3]"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="criLine[2]"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="criLine[4]"/></fo:block>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of
select="criLine[5]"/></fo:block>
</xsl:template>
Note that this solution relies on the criLine nodes
always being in the
same order. If they appear in different orders,
you'll need to figure out
how to distinguish a date from a name from a title
and so on. If you have
any control over the incoming XML, you'd be much
better served to give
each criLine a distinct name.

Re: [xsl] Sibling or Node manipulation
One way is to use a table that has one row and two
cells, one cell for the
date and one for the "Your Signature" block.

[xsl] Sibling or Node manipulation
I have the following XML
<customersRepInfo>
<criLine>Your Name (Print):</criLine>
<criLine>Your Signature:</criLine>
<criLine>Date:</criLine>
<criLine>Your Job Title:</criLine>
<criLine>Telephone Number:</criLine>
</customersRepInfo>
How can I get the "Date:" line to aligned across
from
(horizontal to) the "Your Signature:" line my output
PDF file?
I have this tried
<xsl:template match="customersRepInfo">
<xsl:for-each select="criLine">
<fo:block space-before="3mm" font-size="4.8mm">
<!--xsl:apply-templates/-->
<xsl:value-of
select="preceding-sibling::*
[2]."/> <!--This doesn't display the
"Telephone Number:" line--->
<!--<xsl:value-of select="."/>-->
<!--Displays all
the lines in same order as XML--->
<fo:leader leader-length="3in"
leader-pattern="rule"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
but without the solution that I want.
Thanks in advance for your help!
