RE: How to balance table columns?
I'm guessing since no one else has replied maybe there is no automatic way of doing it at the moment. Maybe someone has written an extension for it. I do see that balancing columns is part of next FO spec (I think 2.0). Sorry couldn't be much more help.

RE: How to balance table columns?
thx. yes, but i also need to know the length of each string, the length in mm of each character, the length of column to know when they break in two or more lines :) i think is is possible in automatic mode :) Mario Madunic wrote: > > Sorry for it to make more sense here is the xpath I would test > > $var/child::*[position() lt count($var//child::*)/2 + 1] > $var/child::*[position() gt count($var//child::*)/2] > > Marijan (Mario) Madunic > Publishing Specialist > New Flyer Industries > > -Original Message- > From: Mario Madunic [mailto:mario_madu...@newflyer.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 6:50 AM > To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org > Subject: RE: How to balance table columns? > > You might want to post this up on the XSLT list. > > So here is how I would do it > > First is create a temp node variable containing all the left and right > strings as child of the var.

RE: How to balance table columns?
Sorry for it to make more sense here is the xpath I would test $var/child::*[position() lt count($var//child::*)/2 + 1] $var/child::*[position() gt count($var//child::*)/2] Marijan (Mario) Madunic Publishing Specialist New Flyer Industries -Original Message- From: Mario Madunic [mailto:mario_madu...@newflyer.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 6:50 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: How to balance table columns? You might want to post this up on the XSLT list. So here is how I would do it First is create a temp node variable containing all the left and right strings as child of the var. Get a count of the child nodes (left and right) divide by two (round up or down your choice) then create the table and copy-of/apply-templates to child::*[position() lt half + 1] and for the right side child::*[position() gt half] in the left and right table cells accordingly.

RE: How to balance table columns?
You might want to post this up on the XSLT list. So here is how I would do it First is create a temp node variable containing all the left and right strings as child of the var. Get a count of the child nodes (left and right) divide by two (round up or down your choice) then create the table and copy-of/apply-templates to child::*[position() lt half + 1] and for the right side child::*[position() gt half] in the left and right table cells accordingly.
