As Manuel already indicated, this is currently not possible (certainly not with FOP 0.20.5). However, the solution Manuel suggests becomes much simpler if you use FOP's svn-trunk, which offers support for starts-row and ends-row on table-cells. You would not need to generate a row element, but just conditionally add an attribute to the enclosing table-cell. This has the advantage of making the XSLT much less complicated. Also fop does not support auto table layout. This means you have to specify column width on each column. If you do that you know the overall width of each table and if you know the width of each table you know how many fit on each line and then you can create a one row n-cell table for each desired output line in your fo file. True. This is exactly what makes it possible to keep track of the accumulated width and add a starts-row property to the cells in question. The feature we'd really need to implement for this is "fo:inlines with block content", so that we can have inline-tables like in HTML. Now, a kind request for Prakash --a question of mailing-list etiquette. The following is what I obtained from the header of the Raw Message: From: Prakash R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: multiple tables in same row on page To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Although it's a nice try to send your post as a reply to someone else's thread, delete all content and provide a new subject line, please refrain from this in the future. After all, why would you go to all that trouble if you can simply choose 'New Message...' and start from there? Thanks!

multiple tables in same row on page
I have a fo which looks like this: ... ... ... ... The number of tables in the fo:block is variable. Is there a way to lay the tables in a single row one after the other and if it does not fit in the same row to go on the next row. In the above example table1, table2 and table3 fit across the width of the page. table4 and table5 are on the next row. Each of the individual pages would resize to content and so in some cases 2 tables might be on one row while in some other case it might be as much as 4 in a row. Thanks in advance. Prakash __ Yahoo!
