Hello everyone on the list,

I don't know if my approach to the tables is smart/correct, but i find it
myself quite easy, and now the XML does not have much overhead in it. XML looks
like:
--------------------------------------
<table caption="Table caption">
<tr>
<td>first row, first cell</td>
<td>first row, second cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>second row, first cell</td>
<td>second row, second cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
--------------------------------------
And XSL generates the FO code basically as follows:
--------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="table">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
<xsl:apply-templates select="child::*[position()=1]"
mode="calculate_columns"/>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>
<!-- contentWidth is specified as xsl:param -->
<xsl:template match="tr" mode="calculate_columns">
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="count(th|td)"/>
<xsl:variable name="column-width">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($contentWidth div $columns,'cm')"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="th|td">
<xsl:variable name="column-number">
<xsl:number level="multiple" count="th|td" format="1" />
</xsl:variable>
<fo:table-column column-number="{$column-number}"
column-width="{$column-width}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tr">
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="th|td">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:template>
--------------------------------------
Since this generates only equal width columns, I implemented width parameter to
the XML as well, and that is used instead of the calculated width if specified.
Maybe this helps, if you can specify the column widths in XML file's td|th
elements on the first tr?
