setting up dynamic row height in xsl fo - xslt

I am using below line to achive dynamic row height i.e the height should match with the left column .
But I also need to split the row into different cells ? When I am using simple fo:block-cell attrbutes ,I am not getting dynamic row hight . How can achive both dynamic row hieght and cells ??
<fo:table-row display-align="center">
<xsl:for-each select="xalan:distinct(Number)">
<fo:table-cell block-progression-dimension="auto" >
<fo:block-container height="10mm">
<fo:block font-size="9pt" border-right-width="0.1mm" border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="red" >
<xsl:value-of select="">
<xsl:variable name="">
<xsl:value-of select="">
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="">
<xsl:value-of select=""/>
</xsl:if>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:table-cell>

Update -
I think one way that it could be done is to insert a vertical line after every cell value .Tried this , but somehow vertical line is not printing .
<fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="2" xsl:use-attribute-sets="myBorder" display-align="center">
<fo:block font-size="10pt" text-align="center">
<fo:table>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="../../../rateDetails[toGeography/sequence = $currentSequence]">
<fo:table-cell><!-- block-progression-dimension="auto" border-right-width="0.1mm" border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="black" text-align="center"> -->
<fo:block-container>
<fo:block font-size="9pt"><!-- border-right-width="0.1mm" border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="black" text-align="center"> -->
<xsl:call-template name="currencySymbol">
<xsl:with-param name="currencyCode" select="$currencyCode" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of select="util:formatCurrency(rate,$language,$countryCode)" />
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="90">
<fo:block>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" leader-length="100%" rule-style="solid" rule-thickness="0.1mm" color="black"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
Is there anything that I am missing for vertical line insertion .

If you move the border and padding properties to the fo:table-cell, the border will be the full height of the cell:
<fo:table-cell border-right="0.1mm solid red">

By setting fo:block-container/#height, you're probably finding that the text in a cell can overflow the 10mm but only the 10mm is being used to determine the row height. If you remove the fo:block-container, you should get a variable-height table row.

The new code sample makes things a bit clearer: you're using 2 nested tables.
That's another complication you don't need.
Just use 1 table.
In the first column, place all the geography codes into the first cell. It does not matter how many there are: if you have 1 geography code, the cell will be one line high. If you have 16 geography codes in this cell, the cell will automatically resize to be 3 lines high.
The rest of the row contains cells with the price information. On these cells, define the right border to generate the red vertical line.
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="..mm" column-number="1"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="..mm" column-number="2"/>
...you'll have to add some code here to add the correct number of columns to your table...
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
...place the code to insert the country codes here....
</fo:table-cell>
<xsl:for-each select="../../../rateDetails[toGeography/sequence = $currentSequence]">
<fo:table-cell block-progression-dimension="auto" border-right-width="0.1mm" border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="black" text-align="center">

How to wirte a part of <fo:table> in a function

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>

How to add a continued label in a static table with XSL/XSL-FO?

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.

Need xslt attribute to create/format table with only outer border , no column separating border

Here the XSL-FO code is shown for only one column(For Root/Data/Code='A'), the other 2 columns('B' & 'C') consists of same code.
Conditions in Detail:
Condition 1): when Root/Data/Code = 'A' or 'B' or 'C'
i need individual totals of 'A', 'B' and 'C' in Table-Footer individual Column.
Condition 2): inturn if individual count(Root/Data/Code) of 'A', 'B' & 'C' crosses 15. Then Page flows to 2nd Page then Table-Footer in 2nd Page needs to contains subtotal of first 15 A's + the sum of succeeding A's in the same way for B's And C's
i.e., if 20 A's, 10 B's and 25 C's are present in Source XML.
In 1st Page, Table-Footer
SubtotalI(Value of 15 A's)=
SubtotalII(Value 10 B's)=
SubtotalIII(Value 15 C's)=
In 2nd Page, Table-Footer
SubtotalI(15 A's+ next 5 A's)=
SubtotalII(Value 10 B's)= <!--No Change as count of B's is less than 15 -->
SubtotalIII(15 C's + next 10 C's)=
I'm trying this logic using xsl:key by grouping through Code tag for evaluating sum of 'A', 'B' and 'C'. As i'm new to XSLT i'm finding it too difficult to solve this logic using xsl:key. Can anyone help in solving this logic?
Thanks in Advance
There are several difficulties with what you try to achieve. Calculating subtotals at a given point is easiest actually. You just need the preceding axis and a sum to calculate it:
sum(preceding::Value[../Code = 'A'])
To include the current value as well, use the union operator like this:
sum(Value[../Code = 'A'] | preceding::Value[../Code = 'A'])
A bigger difficulty is to show a different table 'footer' on each page. Headers and footers are repeated on pages automatically, but the contents is the same across all pages which the table spans. The only solution I see is to break the table yourself, adding a different table footer each time.
By far the easiest way is to just take a fixed number of Data elements at a time, and displaying those in a separate table. You can loop through A, B and C types in one for-each, giving each value a separate row. That way the table always has the same number of rows. You can experiment with the number you can include to determine how many fit on one page.
The following code returns a table with the first 10 Data values. A, B and C values are positioned straight under each other, but you could position them left, middle, and right respectively if you like. At the bottom of the table three rows are added with subtotals for A, B and C.

You still need something to determine how many tables of n Data items you would need, and then do some recursive calls to output all of them. Hope this is sufficient for the moment to get you going again!
PS: I noticed you are using xfd prefix. That looks like you are working with the XF Designer from Ecrion. I am not very familiar with it. The above code is a plain XSLT 1.0 solution. Not sure it works in XF Designer, please let me know..

XSL-FO- Specifying conditional visibility

I have an HTML table that varies according to its content. 1-3 columns hide. 1 column name changes. All depending on content.
I am creating a PDF version of this HTML table. The PDF version uses apache-FOP with fop v1.0. The PDF output contains 2 of the aforementioned tables on one page. I do not want to create an .xsl for every combination of possibilities. That's a lot of duplication and maintenance.
I can solve the column name change simply by passing the column name in with the XML content. But, conditional visibility of the columns seems to be a far more challenging task.
How can I setup conditional visibility? Is it possible?
I'm having difficulty just getting <fo:table-column visibility="collapse" /> to work. The data still displays with visility set to hidden or collapse. display="none" looked promising. But, the API doesn't show it as a valid property for a table-column.
If I can't conditionally hide a column then I'll need to produce 18 unique xsl files...
Currently, my tables are very basic. I do
<fo:block font-size="10pt">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%" border-collapse="separate">
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column visibility="collapse" />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-cell border-width="0.2mm" border-style="solid">
<fo:block>Header 1</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
//...9 other headers (these should show/hide as needed)
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="Object/type/SomeItem/ProcedureItemCollection">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-width="0.2mm" border-style="solid" >
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="content1"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
//...9 other cells...
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
XML
<Procedure>
<SiteName>Site1</SiteName>//If Site1, don't create column 2
//If Site2, don't create column 2,3,4
//If Site3, create all columns
<itemtype1>
<item><member1></member1><member2></member2></item>
<item><member1></member1><member2></member2></item>
</itemtype1>
<itemtype2>
<item><member1></member1><member2></member2></item>
<item><member1></member1><member2></member2></item>
</itemtype2>
</Procedure>
Doing it this way, I have little flexibility in creating the table. But, this is all I know how to do.
After a lot of tinkering it turns out that I can add/remove columns using xsl:when and a variable.
First create a variable
<xsl:variable name="SiteName" select="Procedure/SiteName" />
Then conditionally create the 3 elements of the table (column definition, header, body). Starting with the column definition...
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$SiteName = 'Site1'">
<fo:table-column />//column 2
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
Then the header
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$SiteName = 'Site1'">
<fo:table-cell border-width="0.2mm" border-style="solid">
<fo:block>Column2</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
Finally, the body
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$SiteName = 'Site1'">
<fo:table-cell border-width="0.2mm" border-style="solid" >
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="column2value"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
