Well, Clay was right (and IIC, I'm the one who corrected Clay in the thread
he remembered) and the problem is actually that it's Xalan (or any other
XSLT processor for that matter) that can't add numbers to strings...
You may want try:
width="{concat($width,'+10px')}"
In this way, the value of the width property that FOP gets to see is, for
example:
width="1px+10px"
in which case FOP should have no problem with it. Right now you're trimming
the measurement units and have Xalan do the calculation, and FOP gets to see
for example:
width="11px"
which comes down to the same thing, of course, but wouldn't be usable if the
'10px' were to be an expression in itself rather than a literal value.
HTH!
Greetz,
Andreas
