displaying 2 texts side by side
Hi all, In a table column, I need to display 2 texts from 2 different nodes side by side. If I use 2 blocks, 2 texts gets displayed one below the other.. if I write the 2 texts within the same block, no space is included between them. Please suggest some solution.

AW: displaying 2 texts side by side
Thanks Herald, but the thing is that, I not sure of only 2 texts. There may be more than 2. And the final width of the cell in which these texts are displayed should be constant. It may be possible to have a query in your XSL to determin how many texts there will be... One more thing is that the cell has border color. There should not be borders between the texts.. No problem. You can set the spacing to 0 ... so there will be no border. Harald - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can FOP indent tables (say, with start-indent)?
Can FOPindent tables? I'm using a page layout that defines a startindent for the body text column (the headings are "outdented"). I'd like some tables to be "column width" (in line with the body text), others to be "page width" (margin-to-margin). After experimenting, I can indent the table contents, but the borders are stuck at the left margin. Any ideas? I'm using FOP 2.0.4. (With apologies if this is a well-known issue: I'm a new user. I've searched the FOP open bug list, and googled, but I've not yet seen this explicitly confirmed/denied.) Graham Hannington

Problem: Expanding tables and background colours
I have a table of fixed height which can contain a varying number of lines of data. I've set the background colour of some columns in order to highlight them. I need a way to make sure the highlighting of the columns continues all the way to the bottom of the table. Unless there is a line of data the background colour doesn't appear. I've currently written a template which counts the number of lines and then prints the correct number of blank lines out. This works to a point but fails as soon as the descriptions in the lines get too long, they then wrap over onto the next line, then when I print the blank lines out there are too many and the table expands. I've also tried to do the background colour in a seperate static- content via fo:block-container but it places the block of colour above the text not behind it! (z-index is not implemented yet!) So I need a way to stop the fo:table height=120mm from expanding, or print one extra blank line out at the end of the table which expands to fill the whole of the rest of the table and so show the background colour, or set a background block of colour which is behind the text or another solution?

Re: Problem: Expanding tables and background colours
Thanks for the quick response. I have a template which prints blank lines, the problem is knowing how many to print. If one line has a long description then it wraps over to the next line, so even though I'm printing just one text element I'm taking up two lines on the page. I could estimate by the number of characters how many lines a description text element would take but I was hoping for an exact method. Or I need a away to force the last row to stretch to the full height of the table so the background colour goes all the way to the bottom.
