Re: [docbook-apps] Table 'thead' cell Color

I assume you mean FO output, not HTML output.

 

For FO output, you can put the properties you want in the fo:table-header object by modifying the match="thead" template.  You can use xsl:attribute to add two properties:

 

<xsl:template match="thead">
  <xsl:variable name="tgroup" select="parent::*"/>

 

  <fo:table-header>

    <!-- ADD THESE TWO PROPERTIES -->
    <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#E0E0E0</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="row[1]">
      <xsl:with-param name="spans">
        <xsl:call-template name="blank.spans">
          <xsl:with-param name="cols" select="../@cols"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </fo:table-header>
</xsl:template>

Those properties will be inherited by all the cells in the thead.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Table 'thead' cell Color

Good morning All,

 

I have been using DocBook to create a report generation system and thanks to all the help I have recieved on this site I have go there a lot quicker than I would have done on my own.

 

I have one last thing (before the next phase anyway) that I would like some help on.

 

I have created a customisation layer that outputs the reports in our company standard format and I would like to be able to specify how the table heading cells are formatted.  I do not want to have to hard code it into the application as I believe this should be done in the stylesheet.

 

However although I can match the template for thead in the customistation layer I cannot work out how to change the cell color and the font weight (and color).

 

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

 

Thanks lots,

Russell
