Well, I am a little confused. Please bear with me as I
try to explain.
My XML does not have "colnum" as an attrinute to
'colspec". It only has "colname", and the "entry" tag
has the "namest" and "namend". The "colname" tag has
names of the columns like "c1", "c2" etc. So how the
XML for entry will have
<entry namest="c1" namend="c9">
How do you achieve column span using these column
names instead of column numbers in xslt?
Thank you for all your patience and help.

I'm assuming that you mean, above, "for HTML" ...
I'm not sure what it means to say you have a
"solution for XSLT".
I am having an issue with
XSLFO though. Converting CALS to PDF. Specially
with
the column span attribute. How do I calculate
column
span using namest and namend from cals for XSLFO?
It
seems simpler in XSLT, but I am lost with XSLFO.
Perhaps I'm confused ... what do you mean by "in
XSLT"? One usually uses XSLT to create an
instance of XSL-FO. But the same is true for
creating an instance of HTML, so again I'll
assume you have already solved your problem for
HTML.
And if you already have the answer for HTML using
XSLT, then you are already calculating the number
of columns spanned by dereferencing the named
column for nameend from the named column for
namest. Something like the following untested
snippet:
colspan="{ count(
ancestor::table[1]/colspec[name=current()/@nameend]/
preceding-sibling::colspec ) -
count(
ancestor::table[1]/colspec[name=current()/@namest]/
preceding-sibling::colspec )
+ 1 }"
Just do the same in XSL-FO for
number-columns-spanned= ... I don't see any
difference between the two for spanning columns
of a table cell. When I've had to work with
nameend= and namest= I've used something along
the lines of the above with easy success.
I'm not sure why the calculation you are already
doing for HTML isn't working for XSL-FO.
I hope this helps.
