Re: [xsl] Transforming Tables - repost

something like this perhaps

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:text>
&lt;tStart:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@row"/>
<xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@col"/>
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="row"/>
<xsl:text>
&lt;tEnd:&gt;
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:text>
&lt;rStart:&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:variable name="here" select="."/>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to ../@col">
<xsl:variable name="cell" select="$here/cell[(_at_)col=current()]"/>
<xsl:text>
&lt;cStart:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="max(($cell/@rowspan,1))"/>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="max(($cell/@colspan,1))"/>
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$cell/node()"/>
<xsl:text>&lt;cEnd:&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>
&lt;rEnd:&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

which is more or less what you asked for except in the first table you
said you needed <tStart:4,12> but I'm not sure where the 12 came from.
