Prakash,
I don't think so (but I have been known to be wrong).
Also fop does not support auto table layout. This means you have to
specify column width on each column. If you do that you know the
overall width of each table and if you know the width of each table you
know how many fit on each line and then you can create a one row n-cell
table for each desired output line in your fo file.
That is the above becomes something like:
<fo:block>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
I know that's not quite what you are after as you basically want this
type of transformation being done automatically by. May be you can do
that at the XSLT stage?
