This is not a Cocoon error it's a fundamental XSLT error. Constructs like:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </fo:table> </xsl:text> are bad. If you want to use a named template for a table do this <xsl:call-template name="table-template"/> <xsl:template name="table-template"> <fo:table .... attributes....> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:table> </xsl:template> or use an <xsl:attribute-set> so you can set all the attributes for your tables in the one spot. <xsl:attribute-set name="tableAtts> <xsl:attribute name="width">200px</xsl:attribute> .... .... </xsl:attribute-set> <fo:table xsl:use-attribute-set="tableAtts"> </fo:table> BTW this is probably off topic for this list.
