My problem is that I have a table with dynamic length and I need to span 3 Rows over 3 cells where the other rows have single cell length.
I get a generated XML file with values like
<item>
<val1>a</val1>
<val2>b</val2>
<val3_1>a1</val3_1>
<val3_2>b1</val3_2>
<val3_3>c1</val3_3>
<val4>c</val4>
</item>
and the table should look like
| val1: |-------val1---------| |-------val1---------|
| val2: |-------val2---------| |-------val2---------|
| val3: |val3_1|val3_2|val3_3| |val3_1|val3_2|val3_3|
| val4: |--------val4--------| |--------val4--------|
I have this source:
<fo:table width="100%" table-layout="fixed">
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-style="solid" border-width="1pt"

<xsl:value-of select="val4" />
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
The problems are the following:
The values are parsed wrongly: I get all values val3_1 then all val3_2 and then all val3_3 instead of val3_1 val3_2 val3_3 and the next turn val3_1 val3_2 val3_3 and so on.
The spanning doesn't work. I get that is because I don't now how many cells I will have in the end because I can't foresee how many items will be in the xml file at the time it is generated.
Any ideas?
