RE: Showing the name of the elements (user defined xml tag) in pd f using FOP
De : Zahidul Islam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] xsl:templates match=item_details xsl:apply-templates select=attributes/ /xsl:templates xsl:templates match=attributes xsl:apply-templates/ /xsl:templates If you use xsl:template match=attributes xsl:for-each select=* xsl:value-of select=name()/ xsl:text: /xsl:text xsl:apply-templates/ /xsl:for-each /xsl:template that should work better.

RE: XPath expression
De : Torsten Erler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I know it's not the right List, but I think there are a lot of XSL-Experts here in this list. You might want to try the xsl-list at http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list Does anyone know the XPath expression for counting all Attributes and all childs (grandchilds...) of all preceding siblings of the selected node??? count(preceding-sibling::*/@* | preceding-sibling::*/*) In Other words which row number has the selected node in a full expanded tree. (I need this to set the row backgound color for each second row) I don't understand the relationship between question 1 and question 2... For the second question, you just need something like this... xsl:apply-templates select=row/ xsl:template match=row xsl:choose xsl:when test=position() % 2 = 0 !-- Even row -- /xsl:when xsl:otherwise !-- odd row -- /xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:template You should use the context nodeset to do the hard work for you - otherwise you're going to enormously beef up your processing time. By the way, please excuse the mail formatting if it's yucky - I haven't quite figured out how to make Outlook behave properly.

RE: XPath expression
Hi, -position() doesn't work for me (it always returns '1' for the first child of a node but i've to know the absolute position inside the whole xml tree) It only does this if the context nodeset is the set of siblings. You can have the context node set be other stuff. -preceding-sibling::*/@* looks better i'll try it out Well, that is for literal attributes, rather than child nodes (which is what you seem to mean when you say attribute). To clarify, name would be an attribute of node in this... node name=doddery/ I start with the root node (naturally), list all Attributes of the current selected node by recursive call, then list all childs also by recursive call and so on. You can match all the nodes of the entire xml tree with //* - this means that if your XML is like this... root node subnode/ subnode/ /node node subnode/ /node /root then if you have a template (the [..] is to make sure that the root node isn't matched by the template, which would result in an infinite loop)... xsl:template match=/ xsl:apply-templates select=//*[..]/ /xsl:template xsl:template match=* xsl:textFor /xsl:text xsl:value-of select=name()/ xsl:text the position is /xsl:text xsl:value-of select=position()/ xsl:text /xsl:text /xsl:template ... your output will be For root the position is 1 For node the position is 2 For subnode the position is 3 For subnode the position is 4 For node the position is 5 For subnode the position is 6 psI've attached the xsl. If anyone has time to look in it ...any comments/proposals etc. are very welcome Hope this helps. And if there are any follow-up questions, please look into the xsl list at the URL I gave you earlier.

RE: Variable Template Name
De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] But i have a new problem. Does someone know a solution? I have had the same problem, and I have solved it in a slightly different way. Problem: xsl:variable name=templateNameobjectives/xsl:variable xsl:call-template name=$templateName/ The variable templateName is a Value, wich is read from a XML. The $templateName in call-template does not dissolve. Yup - this is because the argument to call-template is a QName, that is, the name of a tag, rather than an XPath expression. In my problem, the solution was rather simple. I had something like this in the xml... root node mode=mode1 node mode=mode2 node mode=mode1 node mode=mode3 node mode=mode4 /root And I ended up just doing this... xsl:template match=/ xsl:apply-templates select=root/node/ /xsl:template xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mode1'] Mode 1 /xsl:template xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mode2'] Mode 2 /xsl:template xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mode3'] Mode 3 /xsl:template xsl:template match=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mode4'] Mode 4 /xsl:template I'm assuming that you can in some way modify your xml to use attributes rather than parameters to get to the right template.

Yet another block positioning question...
Hi again, I'm using a table to position a number of images, along with a caption, in a grid. I would like the images to be centered vertically and horizontally in the table cell, and have the caption at the bottom of the table cell. The equivalent old HTML looks like this... table tr td valign=center align=center width=400 height=400 img src=myimg.jpeg alt=My image/ /td /tr tr td style=text-align: center My Caption /td /tr /table Again, I wanted to avoid complicating the Fo with tables inside tables, so I figured there would be a way to have a block containing the image aligned center (vertically and horizontally), and another block holding the caption aligned with the bottom of the table cell. Is this the best approach to take?

block-containers and absolute positioning
Hi, I have a feeling this is probably very easy, but I have had some trouble doing it. I'm pretty hopeful that one of ye can point out the obvious mistake I'm making :) I'm using fop 0.20.4 on Win32. I would like to lay out a letterhead type thing which looks something like this... ++ || Name || Address 1 | Logo | Address 2 || Phone || Fax ++ I think that this should be a block container with two blocks in it - one containing the external-graphic and one containing the rest of the letterhead (I guess I could do it with a table too). Then the right-hand block would contain one block each for each of the different data items in the letterhead. So what I ended up with is fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before fo:block-container font-size=20pt text-align-last=center fo:block left=0pt top=0pt width=20mm height=20mm position=absolute fo:external-graphic width=20mm height=20mm src=url(http://www.linux.ie/images/tux.gif)/ /fo:block fo:block left=20mm top=0pt width=180mm height=20mm position=absolute fo:blockTom Jones/fo:block fo:block17 Rugby Street/fo:block fo:blockCardiff CA12 14GC/fo:block /fo:block /fo:block-container /fo:static-content The only problem is it doesn't work :) Either I put the two blocks in a block, and I get classic block behaviour (logo first, then text beneath) or I put them in a block-container, and noting gets displayed. For information, in the page-master, the extent of the before is set to 4cm (for testing purposes). Can anyone help me lay out the header?

border-top and -bottom on table-rows
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to do a border between rows of a table, but the borders are either not appearing or are being hidden by something else. What is the expected behaviour of a border-top or -bottom? The fo is like this... fo:table width=10cm table-layout=fixed fo:table-column column-width=5cm/ fo:table-column column-width=5cm/ fo:table-body fo:table-row background-color=rgb(90%, 50%, 40%) border-top=solid 1px black border-bottom=solid 1px black fo:table-cellfo:blockTest/fo:block/fo:table-cell fo:table-cellfo:blockTest/fo:block/fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-body /fo:table ... and at least here there are no borders on the table row. As a secondary question, when will percentages be supported in table (and block) widths? At least in the version of fop that I'm using, there's no support for it. And finally (I promise) - is there a definitive document anywhere detailing what bits of the xsl standard fop supports, and what bits it doesn't?
