Meena,
FO tables have a completely different tag set. Your table needs to be
transformed into something like:
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" space-before="10pt" space-after="10pt"
background-color="white"
start-indent="0pt" end-indent="24pt">
<fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="4cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="4cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="3" column-width="6cm"/>
<fo:table-body background-color="white" border-style="solid" border-width
="1pt" border-color="black">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell color="black" background-color="#00FFFF" border-style
="solid" border-width="1pt" border-color="black" padding="2pt" font-size
="80%" column-number="1" number-rows-spanned="1">
<fo:block> <fo:inline font-weight="bold">INPUT AVAILABLE</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell color="black" background-color="#00FFFF" border-style
="solid" border-width="1pt" border-color="black" padding="2pt" font-size
="80%" column-number="2" number-rows-spanned="1">
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-weight="bold">IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell color="black" background-color="#00FFFF" border-style
="solid" border-width="1pt" border-color="black" padding="2pt" font-size
="80%" column-number="3" number-rows-spanned="1">
<fo:block>
<fo:inline font-weight="bold"> OUTPUT DISPLAYED</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
For this, you will need to create transforms for your html table elements:
Transform <table into <fo:table, and add appropriate properties
For each <td, create a <fo:table-column, and add a column-number and
appropriate column-width. I think that the column-width value has to be
a real value (it may be more flexible in FOP 0.20), which you can
calculate in your transform
For each <tr, create a <fo:table-row> and, for each <td, <fo:table-cell
with appropriate properties and content. In the example above, I have
preserved the cell background color (background-color="#00FFFF"),
assigned a solid black border (border-style="solid" border-width="1pt"
border-color="black"), and scaled the text to 80% (font-size="80%")
which in my documents gives a better text presentation and allows more
text width in a table.

Hi,
I need to have table in my pdf output. My input xml file is something like
tis
<chapter name="test">
<description>xyz</description>
<html>
<body>
<table border="1" width="94%">
<tr>
<td width="27%" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
<b>INPUT AVAILABLE</b>
</td>
<td width="32%" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
<b>IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS</b>
</td>
<td width="41%" bgcolor="#00FFFF">
<b> OUTPUT DISPLAYED</b>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</chapter>
In my xsl, i use
<xsl:template match="chapter">
<xsl:when test="name()='html'">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>
----
----
</xsl:template>
And the .fo file has the copy of the the <html> part is put into the .fo
file. But when converting into a pdf, i'm not getting the <html> tags as a
proper table.
How can i achieve this?
Regds,
Meena.
