Hi again all,
I've got a particular type of table that I want to set column widths
on via xsl rather than having to do it in the xml source.
The reason is that I have _lots_ of xml files that will use this type of
table and I don't want to have to maintain this if/when we change the
table layout.
The html is easy with the css.
I'm having a problem with the pdf/ps output.
I don't want to have to use 'colwidth' like this:
<informaltable tabstyle='encoding'>
<tgroup cols='4' align='left'>
<colspec colname='c1' colwidth="1.0*"/>
<colspec colname='c2' colwidth="3.0*"/>
<colspec colname='c3' colwidth="2.0*"/>
<colspec colname='c4' colwidth="3.0*"/>
<row>
...
I want to be able to just do:
<informaltable tabstyle='encoding'>
<tgroup cols='4' align='left'>
<colspec colname='c1'/>
<colspec colname='c2'/>
<colspec colname='c3'/>
<colspec colname='c4'/>
<trow>
...
I cant' figure out how to do this.
I've seen examples on using the table.layout template and such but I'm
not having any luck.
IE:
<xsl:template name="table.layout">
<xsl:param name="table.content"/>
<fo:table width="100%" table-layout="fixed" column-width="1.0">
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1.0)"/>
<fo:table-column/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1.0)"/>
<fo:table-column/>
...
Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks,
marcoz
