hi all, Good Day!!!
thanks for giving me that bright idea i was able to achieve what i wanted... hmm... i shouldn't have looked at at block-container in the first place it made me all the more confused hehehe :-) here is what i did though.... using the existing xsl-fo "table" tag i omitted the <p></p> of the table cell in the xml file thus giving me this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <table> <tgroup cols="3"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <colspec colname="col2" colwidth="2in"/> <colspec colname="col3" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"> </entry> <entry colnum="2" valign="top"> </entry> <entry colnum="3" valign="top"> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ then inserted this table inside each column ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <block_table> <tgroup cols="1"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test</p></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </block_table> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ which now looked like this ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <table> <tgroup cols="3"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <colspec colname="col2" colwidth="2in"/> <colspec colname="col3" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"> <block_table> <tgroup cols="1"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test row 1</p></entry> </row> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test row 2</p></entry> </row> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test row 3</p></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </block_table> </entry> <entry colnum="2" valign="top"> <block_table> <tgroup cols="1"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test 2</p></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </block_table> </entry> <entry colnum="3" valign="top"> <block_table> <tgroup cols="1"> <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="2in"/> <tbody> <row> <entry colnum="1" valign="top"><p>test 3</p></entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </block_table> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this one worked :-) thanks once more for the patience in teaching me this technique... all the best!!! pal, benjohn On 15 Mar 2004 at 4:04, J.Pietschmann wrote: > Benjohn P.
