I'm still a newbiew when it comes to XML, XSL, FOP.
How can I obtain an output having a long line with a text underneath it? something like:
<fo:inline text-decoration> Signature </fo:inline>
The only problem on this is that the line is too small. I want the line to be longer.
I want to have 2 sets of this on the same line. One is Signature and the other is Date
Please help. :)
If you want a simple signature block like you are trying to create, just use a table like this:
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="2.5in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="1in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="2.5in"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-top="1pt solid black">
<fo:block>Signature</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block/>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-top="1pt solid black">
<fo:block>Date</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
Which gives you this:

I have to create many <fo:table-row> in a <fo:table-body>. I think it's not nice if I write almost 5 lines of code several times (Maybe 50 times) to create the rows.
Like this:
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:value-of select="row1"/>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:value-of select="row2"/>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:value-of select="row3"/>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
....
</fo:table-body>
I tried to write a function that writes the <fo:table-row> for me. And I have to call the function every time and pass a parameter.
<xsl:function name="fn:createRow">
<xsl:param name="string1"/>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:value-of select="$string1"/>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:function>
And now my XSLT look like this.
<fo:table-body>
<fo:block>
<fo:value-of select="fn:createRow('row1')"/>
<fo:value-of select="fn:createRow('row2')"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-body>
But I get the error:
"fo:block" is not a valid child of "fo:table-body"!
But when I work without <fo:block> I get nothing in the PDF:
<fo:table-body>
<fo:value-of select="fn:createRow('row1')"/>
<fo:value-of select="fn:createRow('row2')"/>
</fo:table-body>
Is there any opportunity to do it?
Thanks!
fo:table-cell can contain one or more block-level FOs, including fo:block. (See https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_table-cell)
You don't show your XML, but if all of the row* elements are contained by one element, then in the template for that element, you could do something like:
<fo:table>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:block>
<!-- The row* element is the current element here. -->
<xsl:apply-templates />
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
Alternatively, you could make a template for all of the row* elements:
<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'row')]">
<fo:table-row>
...
(From this distance, it's not clear why the row elements need separate element names.)
When you know the names of the elements that you want to format, you can do:
<xsl:apply-templates select="row1, row2, row3" />
and:
<xsl:template match="row1 | row2 | row3">
<fo:table-row>
...
I think instead of <fo:value-of select="$string1"/> you want <xsl:value-of select="$string1"/>. I would also check whether a fo:table-cell allows inline content, it might be necessary to put a fo:block container in the cell which has the xsl:value-of element as a child.
Also, for the function calls, don't use <fo:value-of select="fn:createRow('row1')"/>, instead, use <xsl:sequence select="fn:createRow('row1')"/>.
Also, fn is a reserved prefix, for your own functions declare and use your own namespace (e.g. xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf" and <xsl:function name="mf:createRow" ...>...</xsl:function>, then use <xsl:sequence select="mf:createRow('row1')"/>.
So an example of the function would be
<xsl:function name="mf:createRow">
<xsl:param name="input"/>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="6pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="$input"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:function>
and you could call it as e.g.
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:sequence select="(1 to 3) ! ('Row ' || . ) ! mf:createRow(.)"/>
</fo:table-body>
I am using an xml data similar to the sample below. There is a list of possible risks, and each of them can have a name and a description.
<risks>
<freezeDeductible name="item1" description="desc 1"/>
<moneySecLimit name="item2" description="desc 2"/>
<unscheduledLimit name="item3" description="desc 3"/>
...
</risks>
The structure of my template looks as below:
<xsl:template name="displayRisks">
<fo:block>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(33.333)" column-number="1"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(33.333)" column-number="2"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(33.333)" column-number="3"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block font-weight="bold">ALL RISKS</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="/risks/freezeDeductible/#name"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="/risks/freezeDeductible/#description"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block> </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="/risks/moneySecLimit/#name"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="/risks/moneySecLimit/#description"/></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
From the above template, I am generating PDF outputs. Because of the risk description size, and the number of risks elements is unknown, the table can go over multiple one or pages.
On the column1 x row1, there is displayed on first page, the title - "ALL RISKS". It needs to be on the same line as first risk name and description, so cannot move it to the table-header.
Is there any way that, when the table gets to page2, page3, etc. , to display the title (ALL RISKS) on the first row of the new page, with a label - for example: (continue..) ?
For example:
Page1: should display the title, on first table-row, as follows: ALL RISKS
If there is a Page2: display the title on the first table-row on Pag2, as follows: ALL RISKS(continued..)
Thanks!
There is an fo:retrieve-table-marker example in the 'XSL-FO Samples Collection' at https://www.antennahouse.com/xsl-fo-samples#table-retrieve-table-marker-1. (You may need to scroll up after you follow the link because of the banner on the page.)
There's also an example of the axf:repeat-content-at-break and axf:table-cell-repeated-marker AH Formatter extensions at https://www.antennahouse.com/xsl-fo-samples#axf-table-cell-repeated-marker-1 that demonstrates both the repetition and a '(Continued)' marker like what you want.
I'm using XSLT to output a document in PDF.
On the page header I need to add a jpeg company logo, does anybody know how to do this:
below is my page header format:
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block font-family = "Courier" font-size =>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width = "15mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
I'm new to XSLT so I'd appreciate some help :-)
Suppose you have the following below. How I can wrap those in order to produce a page break if the rows don't fit on a page ?
<fo:table-body start-indent="0pt">
#loop here
<fo:table-row>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
</fo:table-row>
# loop ends here
</fo:table-body>
Change:
<fo:table-body start-indent="0pt">
to:
<fo:table-body start-indent="0pt" keep-together.within-page="always">
See https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#keep-together
I am trying to split a particular column with a simple horizontal line .
<fo:table>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-color="white" padding-top="5px" padding-bottom="5px">
<fo:block>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=>
<fo:block border-bottom-width="0.1mm" border-bottom-style="solid" border-bottom-color="black" font-weight="bold">
First I tried to make another table in a column for splitting of data but its not working. border-bottom inside <fo:block > is also not helping .
The line doesn't seem to properly split the column .How can I do this .
On my comment above, the best solution is change your logic to apply appropriate spanning. Here is some FO to get you thinking:
<fo:table font-size="18pt">
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" border="1pt solid black" padding="3pt">
<fo:block>I am all in one spanned cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border="1pt solid black" padding="3pt">
<fo:block>I am in top half of the cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2" border="1pt solid black" padding="3pt">
<fo:block>I am all in one spanned cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border="1pt solid black" padding="3pt">
<fo:block>I am in bottom half of the cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
The result is:
