[xsl] Transforming Tables
Subject: [xsl] Transforming Tables From: Jeff Sese <jsese@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 04 May 2006 13:19:15 +0800 |
Good day!
I'm transforming a table xml into a InDesign tagged text table and i'm having a problem when it comes to spanning. In InDesign tagged text a cell is constructed this way: <clStart:x,y>data<clEnd:>, x is the number of rows and y the number columns occupied by the cell. However, if the table has 5 columns then each row must have 5 cell entries as well regardless if there exist a cell the spans the rest of the column or a previous cell that spans the row position.
So if you have a table xml like this: <table row="4" col="5"> <row> <cell col="1">Data</cell> <cell col="2" colspan="3">Data</cell> <cell col="5">Data</cell> </row> <row> <cell col="1" rowspan="3">Data</cell> <cell col="2">Data</cell> <cell col="3">Data</cell> <cell col="4">Data</cell> <cell col="5">Data</cell> </row> <row> <cell col="2" rowspan="2">Data</cell> <cell col="3">Data</cell> <cell col="4">Data</cell> <cell col="5">Data</cell> </row> <row> <cell col="3">Data</cell> <cell col="4">Data</cell> <cell col="5">Data</cell> </row> </table>
You should have a InDesign tagged text like this: <tStart:4,12> <rStart:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,3>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1><cEnd:> <cStart:1,1><cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <rEnd:> <rStart:> <cStart:3,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <rEnd:> <rStart:> <cStart:1,1><cEnd:> <cStart:2,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> </row> <rEnd:> <cStart:1,1><cEnd:> <cStart:1,1><cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <cStart:1,1>Data<cEnd:> <rEnd:> <tEnd:>
I can get my xslt to handle column spanning, but i'm having trouble with rowspanning. Here is my template for the cell element: <xsl:template match="cell"> <xsl:variable name="col" select="if (exists(@colspan) then @colspan else 1)"/> <xsl:variable name="row" select="if (exists(@rowspan) then @rowspan else 1)"/> <xsl:value-of select="concat('<cStart:',$row,',',$col,'>')"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:value-of select="'<cEnd:'"/> <xsl:if test="exists(@colspan)"> <xsl:value-of select="for $x in (1 to @colspan-1) return '<cStart:1,1><cEnd:>'"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
Can someone help me with generating the empty cells for row spanning?
Thanks, Jeff
