Creating dynamic XSL-FO table using XSLT - xslt

I am creating a table in xsl-fo, with undefined number of elements (indtr).
I wonder if there a smart way to do this?
Here is my input xml file
<pr-levels>
<prs>
<pr_nme><![CDATA[Level 1]]></pr_nme>
<nt><![CDATA[standards:]]></nt>
<b_is>
<indtr id="5684"><![CDATA[cell_1]]></indtr>
<indtr id="5684"><![CDATA[cell_2]]></indtr>
<indtr id="5684"><![CDATA[cell_3]]></indtr>
<indtr id="5684"><![CDATA[cell_4]]></indtr>
</b_is>
</prs>
<prs>
<pr_nme><![CDATA[Level 2]]></pr_nme>
<nt><![CDATA[standards:]]></nt>

</b_is>
</prs>

<indtr id="5684"><![CDATA[cell_19]]></indtr>
</b_is>
</prs>
</pr-levels>
Here is my XSLT template that produces the XSL-FO table:
<xsl:template match="pr-levels">
<fo:table xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_p" break-after="page" force-page-count="no-force">
<fo:table-column column-number="1" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_col_p"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="2" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_col_p"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="3" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_col_p"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="4" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_col_p"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="5" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_col_p"/>
<fo:table-header xsl:use-attribute-sets="table_header">
<xsl:for-each select="prs/pr_nme">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body >
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/nt">

</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/b_is">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="indtr[1]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/b_is">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="indtr[2]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/b_is">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="indtr[3]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/b_is">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">

<xsl:value-of select="indtr[4]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="prs/b_is">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="indtr[5]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>
There could be NULL,1,69 or whatever numbers of <indtr>s in a <b_is>,but right now I just hard code the numbers.My question is how I can dynamically count the number of indtrs and add rows in my table.maybe a for loop in xsl?

Just because it's an interesting problem...
Replace the multiple hard-coded fo:table-row with:
<xsl:variable name="pr-levels" select="." />
<xsl:for-each
select="1 to max(for $prs in prs
return count($prs/b_is/indtr))">
<xsl:variable name="row" select="." as="xs:integer" />
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="$pr-levels/prs">
<fo:table-cell padding="1pt">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="b_is/indtr[$row]"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>

First row of a table on a new page

I have a requirement that the first row on that page of a table (not the header) is different from the rest. I can't figure out if it can be done with markers or if it's even possible with just FO.
I basically have a legend for a graphic that would be tagged something like:
<row>
<callout>1</callout>
<name>Cog</name>
<description>Super important for stuff</description>
</row>
<row>
<callout>2</callout>
<name>Sprocket</name>
<description>Not nearly as important for stuff</description>
</row>
<row>
<callout>3</callout>
<name>Sprigot</name>
<description>I'm not creative</description>
</row>
<row>
<callout>4</callout>
<name>Last One</name>
<description>Blah blah blah</description>
</row>
The table would output as (X is a count for the number of tables):
Callout
Name
Desc
X - 1
Cog
Super important for stuff
   - 2
Sprocket
Not nearly as important for stuff
   - 3
Sprigot
I'm not creative
page break
Callout
Name
Desc
X - 4
Last One
Blah blah blah
The count only shows up on the first row on that page, but may obviously show up multiple times if the table spans multiple pages. Is there any way to get it to output like that? I'm using XSL 2.0, Saxon 9, and Apache FOP 2.7.
<xsl:template match="table">
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="20%"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="30%"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="40%"/>
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Callout</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Name</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Desc</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="row">
<fo:row>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:row>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="callout">
<fo:table-cell>
<!-- The code needs to go here to get the count to appear only if this row is the first row on the page. -->
<fo:block>
<xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

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>

XSL FO Customized Table requirement

I have below requirement.
I have below table in xml.
------------------------------------------------------------
|NAME |NUMBER|<<Empty>>|NAME |NUMBER|<<Empty>>|NAME |NUMBER|
------------------------------------------------------------
|A001 | 1 | |A005 | 5 | |A009 | 9 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A002 | 2 | |A006 | 6 | |A010 | 10 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A003 | 3 | |A007 | 7 | |A011 | 11 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A004 | 4 | |A008 | 8 | |A011 | 12 |
------------------------------------------------------------
Using XSL FO and Rendrex the above XML has been shown as below:
Case 1: If the above table appeared in single page it should appear as below:
|NAME |NUMBER|<<Empty>>|NAME |NUMBER|<<Empty>>|NAME |NUMBER|
------------------------------------------------------------
|A001 | 1 | |A005 | 5 | |A009 | 9 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A002 | 2 | |A006 | 6 | |A010 | 10 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A003 | 3 | |A007 | 7 | |A011 | 11 |
-------------- -------------- --------------
|A004 | 4 | |A008 | 8 | |A011 | 12 |
------------------------------------------------------------
Case 2: If the table appeared in two page it should appear as below:
-------------------------------------------------
|NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER|
-------------------------------------------------
|A001 | 1 | |A003 | 3 | |A005 | 5 | ---> Page 1
|A002 | 2 | |A004 | 4 | |A006 | 6 |
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
|NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER|
-------------------------------------------------
|A007 | 7 | |A009 | 9 | |A011 | 11 | ---> Page 2
|A008 | 8 | |A010 | 10 | |A012 | 12 |
-------------------------------------------------
I am able to achieve the Case 1 but case 2 i am getting like below:
-------------------------------------------------
|NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER|
-------------------------------------------------
|A001 | 1 | |A005 | 5 | |A009 | 9 | --> Page 1
|A002 | 2 | |A006 | 6 | |A010 | 10 |
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
|NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER| |NAME |NUMBER|
-------------------------------------------------
|A003 | 3 | |A007 | 7 | |A011 | 11 | --> Page 2
|A004 | 4 | |A008 | 8 | |A011 | 12 |

Can someone please help me to find out the solution.
Expected Output:
Because you are using RenderX, you can use rx:flow-section for the table to make a three-column area within the flow. Remember to add the rx: extension namespace to your XSL and you can completely forgo the complicated numbering.
If you examine the below XSL FO it achieves your desire. Note that I have set the column-gap to "0pt" so that it looks like a continuous table. This will work if all your row-heights are the same.
XSL FO:
<rx:flow-section column-count="3" column-gap="0pt">

The output when crossing a page boundary:
You can achieve an output that is almost what you requested using a much simpler table and a slightly more complicated page-master:
the table: just two columns (one for NAME and one for NUMBER), the fo:table-header and the fo:table-body with rows in the "natural" order (1, 2, 3, ..., 12)
the page master: add columns to the fo:region-body definition, using column-count="3" and column-gap="1cm" (or something appropriate)
The result is a table whose rows flow in the three region columns, eventually creating other pages if needed.
You may use an empty <fo:block span="all"/> after the table, so that the columns will be balanced (so that, for example, you will have 2 rows in each column instead of having 4 in the first column, 2 in the second one and 0 in the third one).
The only requirement that this solution cannot satisfy is the continuous border from margin to margin.

setting up dynamic row height in xsl fo

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)">

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: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" />

</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
Is there anything that I am missing for vertical line insertion .
snapshot2
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...

XSL-FO Code:

<--Here Sum of first 15 A's. if the A's or B's or C's exceed by 15, then the table flows to 2nd Page. In that case, 1st Page table-footer shows individual subtotals of first 15 A's, 15 B's and C's. In 2nd Page, the subtotals should contain Subtotal of first 15 A's+ Succeeding A's, in the same way B's and C's -->

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..
