RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Vertical Tables

[Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com>]

When you use the <xsl:attribute/> element, it inserts the attribute into
whatever element is currently open in the XSL result tree.  In your case,
the <fo:table-cell/> element isn't yet open, so the attribute is inserted
into a higher-level element (probably an fo:table-row, but it could be the
<fo:table/>).

To do the level of customization you want, you'll have to make a copy of the
template you are trying to customize and be sure that you insert the
<xsl:attribute/> inside of the <fo:table-cell/> element.
<xsl:apply-imports/> will not work in this case.

Hallo guys,

I need to generate a vertical table like this:

+--------+--------+
| HEAD 1 | text 1 |
+--------+--------+
| HEAD 2 | text 2 |
+--------+--------+

HEADs should be rendered in bold, while texts in
normal.

To solve the problem, I modified my row entries like
this:

...
<row>
  <entry role="tablehead">HEAD 1</entry>
  <entry>text 1</entry>
</row>
<row>
  <entry role="tablehead">HEAD 2</entry>
  <entry>text 2</entry>
</row>
...

and I wrote a stylesheet like this:

...
<xsl:template match="entry" name="entry">
  <xsl:if test="parent:row and @role='tablehead'">
    <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold<xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:apply:imports/>
</xsl:template>
...

Well, the result is that HEADs as well as texts are
rendered in bold.

Have I forgotten something?

Thanks,
