Subject: RE: [xsl] xsl fo: tables : column width From: omprakash.v@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 10:26:37 +0530 |
Hi, No problem. This question is open to the list: This gentleman has said "The table width problem is not that high a priority". is it a general feeling among XSL-FO users or just one person's opinion. Is table-layout not that big a problem that you can live without it. Also, he has said, "I'm a little far along to switch formatters". Would this user reply differently if he knew came to that there was no need to switch formatters to use my table-layout component. Your opinions are welcome.

The table width problem is not that high a priority. However if the situation changes or we have time to spare, I'll contact you about your code.

I have written a formatter that converts a fo file with auto-layout into one having fixed layout. I will be glad to make available to you a jar file together with the api to invoke the formatter. Please contact me off-list if you are interested. My formatter takes as input an fo file and inserts the appropriate number of fo:table-column tags along with the fo:column-width attribute with their values populated based on the content of the table cell. At present, it supports text and images in the table cell. The layout is very fast (though I haven't measured it) as it uses a sophisticated adaptive step-size algorithm to do the layouting. The layout step is in addition to the xslt transformation and the formatting step. Also, the formatter is written using JDOM and I plan to incorporate the layout program into a custom built formatter, possibly one that uses SAX, sometime in the near future. Let me know if you are interested. Cheers, Omprakash.V Senior Architect, Polaris software Lab, Email: ompravish@xxxxxxxxxxx Hi Folks, I'm relatively new to FO transformations so please forgive me, if this is a newbie question. I am dynamically generating tables and don't know the number of columns a given table may contain. I'd like to fix the width of the table and let the columns size relative to the content within them. A good example would be the default behavior of HTML tables. Currently I am able to output tables of fixed width, but the column widths are proportional to the table. Here's an example of what I mean: http://simplewebservices.net/fo_table/. Any help is appreciated.
