Tables with Split Cells

[dgallo]

I was wondering if there is a way to warp all table data that should visually appears as 1 row in the html output with a class.

To further explain:

We have tables where some cells in a row are split, therefore causing additional row tags, even though visually we want all of this information, including the split cells to appear as 1 row in the html output. See example below with comments.

Code: Select all

<table frame="none" id="test_topic_table_wbw_d2c_mz">

          <tgroup cols="4">

            <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/>

            <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1.0*"/>

            <colspec colname="c3" colnum="3" colwidth="1.0*"/>

            <colspec colname="newCol4" colnum="4" colwidth="1*"/>

            <thead>

              <row><!--start of heading row-->

                <entry>1</entry>

                <entry>2</entry>

                <entry namest="c3" nameend="newCol4">3</entry>

              </row>

            </thead>

            <tbody>

              <row><!--start of row 1-->

                <entry morerows="1">row 1, column 1</entry>

                <entry morerows="1">row 1, column 2</entry>

                <entry>row 1, column 3/split</entry>

                <entry>row 1, column 3/split</entry>

              </row>

              <row>

                <entry>row 1, column 3/split</entry>

                <entry>row 1, column 3/split</entry>

              </row><!--can I wrap everything from the start of row 1 until this comment with a class because I want it to visually appear as 1 row-->

              <row><!--start of row 2-->

                <entry>row 2, column 1</entry>

                <entry>row 2, column 2</entry>

                <entry namest="c3" nameend="newCol4">row 2, column 3</entry>

              </row>

            </tbody>

          </tgroup>

        </table>

Hi,

I don't see a good solution for this. Maybe you could set on all those rows some special custom @outputclass attribute values and pick them up in the XSLT.
