XSL-FO

Hi,

Could you please clarify the below doubts in the XSL-FO.

I'm the beginning stage of XSL-FO.

I've generating two column format PDF from XML via XSL-FO.

When i'm using fo:float with "before" option for table and figures (Note: I've applied span="all" for tables and figures only), it will start in the new page. But the table size is larger than single page, it won't continue to next page.

If i doesn't use float for table and figures, it is generating some extra space before table, i.e., second column is taken some extra space as like attached.

Thanks,
Rajendran

Rajendran, I have to say I don’t quite understand the problem you’re experiencing but it seems pretty obvious that fo:float is not what you need to position the table properly here. Besides the table looks twice as wide as the text in a column above so I wonder how some extra space can not be generated. Perhaps there’s something I just don’t get about your layout.

This would be really helpful if you attached a simple layout (an .xsf file) to demonstrate your problem and described what you’d like to get as an output. Thank you.

Hi Paviel,

Please check my below codings. And also i ve attached XSL and XML file.

<xsl:template match="table-wrap">

<xsl:param name="float">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@position='float'">
<xsl:text>before</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>none</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:param>



<xsl:if test="table/@width='50%'">
<xsl:attribute name="float">none</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="padding-top">0pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>

<fo:block font-family="Franklin Gothic Book" span="all">
<fo:table-and-caption id="{@id}" text-align="left" space-after="6pt" padding-before="0pt" padding-after="0pt">
<xsl:if test="table/@width='50%'">
<xsl:attribute name="span">inherit</xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="table/@width='75%'">
<xsl:attribute name="span">all</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="padding-bottom">0pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<fo:table-caption>
<fo:block text-align="left" font-family="Franklin Gothic Book" font-size="10pt" space-before="0pt" margin-left="6pt" margin-right="6pt" padding-after="0pt">
<fo:inline font-family="Franklin Gothic Medium"><xsl:value-of select="label"/> </fo:inline><fo:inline><xsl:apply-templates select="caption"/></fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-caption>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:table-and-caption>
</fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates select="table-wrap-foot"/>

</xsl:template>

Thanks,
Rajendran

Pls find xml also

Thanks but still, could you please attach your XSLfast layout file.

Hi,

Find the generated PDF.

I've Bookmarked the issues in the PDF in page 5 and 10.

Thanks,
Rajendran

Thank you but it isn’t an XSLfast layout, is it? It’s really hard to understand how you get this problem without the layout.
