[xsl] Re: adding column number to the entry

---

---

If you find that your question on XSL-List does not get answered, or that the answers provided do not meet your need, make it easier for people to answer the question by clarifying it and/or providing more information.

In your case, I suggest two things:

  1. provide the smallest possible example that illustrates your
     question. (it looks to me like there is a lot of "clutter" in
     your example; for example cell names and columnspans are not
     needed to deal with the question you asked)

  2. in addition to a small example describe in words, where the
     information in the desired result would come from in the
     input. Is it the case that you want RowSpan to equal 1
     unless the value of the cell element is longer than 16
     characters? Or is there some other logic that you want
     implemented in your XSLT?

Please re-post your question, with a more targeted example and a description of what you are trying to accomplish.

I am having a input like this.

<table>
<row>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C1 R5</entry>
<entry align="left" valign="top" morerows="1">Table 1 TB C2 R5 and
TB C2 R6 are merged</entry>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C3 R5</entry>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C4 R5</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C1 R6</entry>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C3 R6</entry>
<entry align="left" valign="top">Table 1 TB C4 R6</entry>
</row>
</table>

My required output is as follows:

 <table>
   <cell Name="1" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C1 R5</cell>
   <cell Name="2" RowSpan="2" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C2 R5 and TB
 C2 R6 are merged</cell>
   <cell Name="3" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C3 R5</cell>
   <cell Name="4" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C4 R5</cell>
   <cell Name="1" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C1 R6</cell>
   <cell Name="3" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C3 R6</cell>
   <cell Name="4" RowSpan="1" ColumnSpan="1">Table 1 TB C4 R6</cell>
 </table>

 I have tried with the following code but it is changing the number in
 all the 2nd row entries. It requires to be changed only in C3 of R6
 and C4 of R6. Because C2 of R6 is already merged with C2 of R5.

 <xsl:template match="entry>
      <xsl:if test="parent::row/preceding-sibling::row/entry/@morerows">
           <xsl:value-of select="position() +
 parent::row/preceding-sibling::row/entry[@morerows]/position()"/>
      </xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>

Please help me getting required output.

 Regards,
 Ganesh
