Hi, I am using xsl 1.0 to format an xml file. I have a six column two row
table and the data in the bottom right cell of that table is longer than the
length of the table. Is it possible to have that particular cell auto size
or grow to accommodate the text?
If I've understood your question, the answer is "no". Cell widths
are fixed for the entire column of a table. Column widths can be
specified by the stylesheet, or they can be automatically calculated
by the XSL-FO engine, but one row's cell width cannot be different
from another row's cell width.
On your part you could introduce multiple columns for the entire
table and then span columns differently on each row so that the
reader sees what appears to be differently-sized table cells. But
this is entirely strategic on your part and not something that can be
automatically engaged. You would have to figure out when to span
cells and when not to. Behind the ragged cell sizes would have to be
a very rigid columnar specification.
I hope knowing the answer helps.
