Subject: [xsl] FO invisible data
Greetings xsl-list
I am trying to extract some data from a proprietary medical data system.
The
system basically generates a FO file that from the system goes on to be
printed/faxed/emailed to many sources. I can grad the FO file on its way
past copy it and do some other processing that I need to do to it.
I have access to the XSL file that did generate the FO file and I can
modify
it as long as the FO file appears the same when printed/faxed/emailed.
However the problem I have is that there is one key piece of data missing
form the FO file that I need. I can insert it into the XSL file quite
easily
but when I do it appears on the final output and I can't have that.
So my question is: Is there some way to include something like below but
for
it to have a property perhaps that makes the formatter ignore it
completely
but will still allow me to get to the data in the FO file?
Eg:
Currently I have things like this
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="ItemHeading"
font-weight="bold">MRN:</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="ItemData"><xsl:value-of
select="/Report/Body/zSpRptSepSumPatDemogSP/MRN"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
But I want the same thing but to be not visible on the page.
Is it possible to put in an invisible table or block?
Thanks for any help out there
