Hi Syd,
Well basically, this XSL is used to build a report. Here is a sample of the
report that this XSL builds as it is now...
http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7903/samplereport.jpg
What I'm trying to do is combine the first two columns into one column. So
instead of having a column for date (the collect column), and a column for
time (right next to Collect), I want that to be displayed in one column,
similar to Resulted. Ultimately, I'd like to also convert the date to a
different format (yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm), but one step at a time.
Well I didn't include LabHeaderCell, as that is not the part of the XSL that
is giving my a head ache. LabHeaderCell is used to display the header (where
you see Name:, MRN: Age: and Sex:). As for the variable $reportType, it's
simply used to determine that this is a Laboratory report.
The part of the XSL that fills (not sure if that is the correct terminology)
the table is...
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="Row">
<xsl:if test="@Type='Data'">
<fo:table-row keep-together.within-column="always">
<!--both a="$tempDate" b="$tempTime"/-->
<xsl:for-each select="Cell[position() = 1 or position() = 2 or
position() = 3 or position() = 6 or position() = 7 or position() = 8 or
position() = 9 or position() = 10]">
<xsl:call-template name="LabDataCell"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
and...
<xsl:template name="LabDataCell">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@Status='Panic'">
<fo:table-cell color="red" background-color="white" border="1pt solid
black" wrap-option="wrap" overflow="hidden">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" padding="1mm" margin-left=".25mm"
overflow="hidden" language="ru" hyphenate="true">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:table-cell color="black" background-color="white" border="1pt solid
black" wrap-option="wrap" overflow="hidden">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" padding="1mm" margin-left=".25mm"
overflow="hidden" language="ru" hyphenate="true">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
So I figure Hermann's suggestion should go somewhere in the above snippet of
XSL?

and my XSL is the following (well a snippet of it, ...
Actually, it would probably be easier to provide advice if you sent
the entire XSLT (or a pointer to it), as it is quite difficult to
test what you sent, as we don't have access to $reportType,
LabHeaderCell, etc.
I've got your input:
<Row Type="Data">
<Cell>Mar 23, 2006</Cell>
<Cell>08:44</Cell>
</Row>
But what do you want the output to look like?
While we're here, though, some thoughts follow.
<xsl:for-each select="Row">
<xsl:if test="@Type='Header'">
<xsl:for-each select="Cell">
<fo:table-column/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
Couldn't this be expressed a bit more simply as
<xsl:for-each select="Row[(_at_)Type='Header']/Cell">
<fo:table-column/>
</xsl:for-each>
?
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@Status='Panic'">
<fo:table-cell color="red" background-color="white" border="1pt
solid
black" wrap-option="wrap" overflow="hidden">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" padding="1mm" margin-left=".25mm"
overflow="hidden" language="ru" hyphenate="true">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:table-cell color="black" background-color="white" border="1pt
solid
black" wrap-option="wrap" overflow="hidden">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" padding="1mm" margin-left=".25mm"
overflow="hidden" language="ru" hyphenate="true">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
Since most of the content of the <when> and the <otherwise> are the
same, I'd be inclined to factor out the similarities:
<xsl:template name="LabDataCell">
<xsl:variable name="color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@Status='Panic'">red</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>black</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:table-cell color="{$color}" background-color="white"
border="1pt solid black" wrap-option="wrap" overflow="hidden">
<fo:block font-size="8pt" padding="1mm" margin-left=".25mm"
overflow="hidden" language="ru" hyphenate="true">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:template>
I'm sure others on the list will point out if & where I'm wrong.
