Subject: [xsl] Table structure checking, how? From: "Michael Müller-Hillebrand mmh@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 08:37:38 -0000 |
Hi folks, We came across a CALS table with a "missing" cell in the first row, like this: <tgroup cols="2"> <tbody> <row> <entry colname="col1" morerows="1"><p>Text</p></entry> <!-- MISSING second column cell --> </row> <row> <!-- skipped first cell because of morerows --> <entry colname="col2"><p>Text</p></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> This table is technically valid, but creates problems when processed further. Are you aware of a tool or method to check that the table data is correct regarding any available colspan or rowspan definitions? I fear there is no way to have that checked using just e.g. XPath. My next step would be to look at Andrew Welch's table normalizer, which I have used in a number of projects. It is currently based on the assumption that the first row of a table is complete (after expanding any colspan definitions). http://andrewjwelch.com/code/xslt/table/table-normalization.html Any hints are very welcome, - Michael [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
