including HTML table with bgcolor (FO output)

[Georges Schmitz <georges.schmitz@arcor.de>]

Hi,

a main reason for me to make some tests with html tables instead of CALS 
tables is the easier use of background colors - at least that was, what 
I expected. But in FO output, the attribute @bgcolor isn't referenced at 
all, only PI instructions are processed. As instructions for processing 
the value for a background color occurs only 3 times (in exact the same 
way) in fo/htmltbl.xsl, the following small change did have all the 
effect I need:

Original:

  <xsl:variable name="bgcolor">
    <xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
      <xsl:with-param name="pis" select="processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="'bgcolor'"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:variable>

After Change:

  <xsl:variable name="bgcolor">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="@bgcolor">
        <xsl:value-of select="@bgcolor"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
          <xsl:with-param name="pis" 
select="processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="'bgcolor'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>

I looked at the recent xslt snapshot for table processing (as Bob said 
we should check these, because of many changes in the last time), and it 
seems that processing of background colors has not changed.

Bob, do you think, this change would be suitable for color processing in 
tables? OK, one could debate about attribute or PI coming first, and 
semantic of $bgcolor.pi wouldn't fit anymore, however deleting ".pi" 
form the name is all to be done.

Kind Regards,
Georges
