RE: How to balance table columns?
yes, sorry. i meen thought, not think:). i think that it is possible in automatic mode when i write the first message:) thanks for help! Mario Madunic wrote: 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.

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.
