generate fo:table running title/header by table fragment position - xslt

I found many answers how to generate running titles and table-headers, but no one fits conditions:
First table fragment should have title "Title of table $tablenum"
From second to rowsCount-1 should have title "Continue of table"
Last table fragment should have title "End of table".
I found retrieve-table-marker, and put markers on each row, but with it i can fit only in 2 conditions:
1-2 (and last table fragment also have "Continue of table" header) with
<retrieve-table-marker retrieve-position-within-table="first-starting"/>
2-3 (First fragment have "Continue of table") with
<retrieve-table-marker retrieve-position-within-table="last-ending"/>
So, it can be solved, if i found how to do one of next thing:
can determine when xslt processing, that current table fragment is last/first
If it possible, i can set something like
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="is-last-fragment()">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="table-header">End of table</fo:marker>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="position() = 1">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="table-header">End of table</fo:marker>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:marker marker-class-name="table-header">Continue of table</fo:marker>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</fo:table-row>
and use <retrieve-table-marker retrieve-position-within-table="first-starting"/> in table header.
can hide first/last marker with other on retrieve-table-marker tag.
I use saxonb-xslt-9.1.0.8J from Saxonica as xslt processor and generate pdf with fop-2.1.

remove table cell in xsl-fo

I have this problem where I need to remove table cells when they are empty. But they always leave a small gap.
If the user fills out every option, the table is normal. If the user only fills out some fields then the table generates this dark horizontal line.
I suspect it is the empty cells bunching up.

I have tried putting in:
<fo:table-cell visilibity="hidden">
<fo:table-cell display="none">
<fo:table-cell height="0px">
Wrong output when there are empty cells:
Correct output when there are no empty cells:
Only create fo:table-row if your data fulfills the filter size > 0
You can do that by adding a predicate to your for-each.
In addition you can use that same predicate in the match, te ensure that there will be not a invalid fo:table constructed.
The xslt would then look like this:

It would be really helpful if you would add a minimal xml-source-sample to your question to better understand your xslt.
I.e: your template match: <xsl:template match="part35Details"> looks somewhat strange. The template does not use the context.

xsl:choose find the first position of elements but not the second

I would like to code an XSLT to convert an XML document to an XML-FO document, in order to generate a PDF.
This Image shows the current Output
So my Table has 3 columns. In the first 4 lines the second and third columns are merged.
My XML document looks like this:
<WS-Standards>
<tags>
<tag category = "parameters" > <!-- WS_Beer_Type -->
<tag_name>WS_Beer_TypeX</tag_name> <!-- browsename -->
<tag_number>30004</tag_number>
<datatype>Unsigned32</datatype>
<accessrights>RW</accessrights>
<names>
<name language="DE">Biersorte</name>
<name language="EN">Beer Type</name>
</names>
</tag>

My question is about the names element for different languages.
So the first Line in the table of the names element looks like this:
-----------------------------
|Name | DE | Biersorte |
-----------------------------
But I`m missing the second line:
-----------------------------
| | EN | beer type |
-----------------------------
What am I doing wrong with the xsl:choose->when->otherwise function?
I would be happy about a tip.
The relevant code is in a template matching names, but there is only one such element in your XSLT and so it will only be called once.
The expression number(./name/position()) = 1 in this context is simply asking "For this names element, is there a name element in position 1", which is true, and so the xsl:when gets executed.
Your code really needs to be in a block where name is selected. Try this XSLT (which also removes the code duplication).
<xsl:template match="names">
<xsl:for-each select="name">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell column-number="1" border="1pt solid black">
<fo:block>
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">Name</xsl:if>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell column-number="2" border="1pt solid black">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="#language"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell column-number="3" border="1pt solid black">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Preserving Tab-Space with XSL-FO

I did not found an explicit question like the following:
I want to convert XML to PDF preserving tabspace (ASCII 009) in XSL-FO.
My <fo:block /> looks like this:
<fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve">
<xsl:value-of select="orderText" />
</fo:block>
With this configuration I can preserve line breaks and normal spaces but no tab-space. I tried many attributes from this post: Preserving whitespace in PDF after XSL transform
but it still doesn't work. If I put in this:
Forename: John
Surname: Smith
I get this:
Forename: John
Surname: Smith
For Information:
In my XSL-FO I use a Layout-Master for formatting the page. Maybe this could be the problem.
This is the complete XSL-File.

XSL-FO does not handle tabs other than being whitespaces. A tab does not have a specific width, and there are not "tab stops" defined in the blocks.
Positioning in XSL-FO is done through block, and position properties. It looks like what you want here, is to use an extra column and split the value in 2: the first part in one cell, the second part in the other.

How do I reset to the first page

I am doing an xsl transform and I want to put several different documents in the same pdf. I have simple-page-masters for the first page, last page and other pages. I need to figure out a way to start a new document by using the last page and then the first page and reset the page numbers.
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="first-page">
<fo:region-body margin-bottom="1in" region-name="main-body"/>
<fo:region-after extent="1in" region-name="page-footer" display-align="after"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="other-pages">
<fo:region-body margin-top=".5in" margin-bottom=".5in" region-name="main-body"/>
<fo:region-before extent=".5in" region-name="page-header" display-align="before"/>

I tried setting the initial-page-number but it won't let me do it inside a page. Any ideas?
Here is the page-sequence.

</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell line-height="12pt" font-size="10pt">

<fo:block>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="1pt" leader-length="100%"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
This doesn't work. I copied the code from the first page sequence. I want to be able to reset to the first page and do the page header, etc.
Perhaps you wish to adapt this sample to your, this works perfectly fine for Page X of Y references in a multiple batch document. One key here is that you must use a unique reference to document "chunk". You would use something unique in the XML, but I find it just as easy to use generate-id(.) on the repeating document, adding that id to the fo:flow and then using fo:page-number-citation-last with that id. Thus you get the last page of each of the flows.
Sample input:
<batch>
<document>
<page/>
<page/>
<page/>
<page/>
<page/>
</document>
<document>
<page/>
<page/>
<page/>
</document>
<document>
<page/>
<page/>
<page/>
</document>
</batch>
Sample XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="pages">
<fo:region-body margin-top="1in"/>
<fo:region-before extent="0.5in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="document">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="pages" initial-page-number="1" force-page-count="no-force">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block>
Page <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation-last ref-id="{generate-id(.)}"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" id="{generate-id(.)}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="page">
<fo:block break-before="page">
I am a page
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output shows 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5 ... followed by 1 of 3, 2 of 3 ... works perfect.

xsl fo page size / orientation

I am designing an xsl that will give a pdf output. My pdf output is in landscape format.
I can't get the landscape formatted output even i change the simple page master as follows,
Still my pdf output's height is greater than the width.
Hi mzjn, i dont have any link. attached the expected and resulted pdf outputs, also need to know how to use the border image. tried as background image for region body and failed.

I am using Apache FOP 1.1.First you should define layout of landscape(A2).For Example
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="A2"
page-height="594mm" page-width="420mm" margin-left="0.2cm"
margin-right="0.2cm">
<fo:region-body margin-top="0.5cm" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A2">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
**//your design and logic**
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
Thank you.
I'm not sure how to set the background, but below is how I was able to change the page width and height to result in landscape orientation.
I'm editing xsl files for PDF2 that came with the DITA open toolkit. I'm not sure if the filename will be the same, but I found the below chunk of code in layout-masters-attr.xsl. Notice I switched the page-width and page-height variables.
<xsl-attribute-set name="simple-page-master">
<xsl-attribute name="page-width">
<xsl:value-of select="$page-height"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="page-height">
<xsl:value-of select="$page-width"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
This will set the entire PDF document to landscape mode. Also, you can find where the variables are defined and change them to other values, if desired.
