RE: [docbook-apps] I need to selectively hide rows in a table...

David,

Thanks so much!  This worked perfectly.  I don't know how I missed this when reading Bob's book.  Or maybe I didn't but its been so long since I've been through it in detail I just forgot about it.  Anyway, it is working well and I thank you for the reminder.

Best,

Jon Rosen

Hi Jon,
What you want it profiling, which does exactly what you want and much
more. It's explained in Bob Stayton's excellent book:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Profiling.html

Btw., what you were doing would work if you did apply-imports instead.
When you do apply-templates you override the templates that normally
handle rows and so produce invalid xsl-fo. But what you really want is
profiling.
