Hi,
I have searched long for this but cannot seem to get a straight answer.
We are trying to output tables in XSL-FO, but I do not seem to be able to
easily find the table row with the maximum number of cells within a table,
so that I can specify how many <fo:table-column/> items should be added.
Cells that span columns or rows have colspan and rowspan attributes in their
tags.
Is there any way to loop through the rows within a table to find the row
with the maximum number of cells? The looping methods I have found seem to
only deal with a set number of reiterations whereas with our tables we don't
know which row has the most cells.
Thank you very much for any pointers in the right direction - right now I
don't even know where to start anymore.
