Re: [xsl] DITA tables to SVG

2022-02-26 11:04:16
A little further background: I have a series of DITA topics that need to be 
combined in a single chapter and opened with Adobe FrameMaker. FrameMaker is 
choking when trying to open the chapter (it has over 300 tables in it). The 
client is fine with having the tables as SVG graphics because the text renders 
as text in the resulting PDF. And thus my proposed task.

Thanks for all of the generous replies. I did more investigation on the svg 
format and, as Liam said, it is a format for rendering graphics. I need to 
render some dense tables as graphics and I have some examples that I can 
reverse engineer. Thanks again.

HI All,

 

I have a series of DITA tables that I would like to convert to SVG.
Is there
a schema for SVG tabular data that I could use to create a stylesheet?

SVG doesn't really have tabular data. It's a vector graphics format.

Are you sure you mean SVG and not CSV?  Or are you trying to plot a graph or 
turn the table into a diagram of some sort?
