xml - Using table attributes -

this sample xml:

<recommendedaction>    <table border="1" cellpadding="1" style="width:500px"><tbody><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td></td><td>f</td></tr></tbody></table>    <table border="5" cellpadding="50" style="width: 300px;"><tbody><tr><td><br /></td><td><br /></td></tr><tr><td><br /></td><td><br /></td></tr><tr><td><br /></td><td><br /></td></tr></tbody></table> </recommendedaction> 

i have 2 questions:
1. how can use width attribute in table template?
2. how can use cellpadding attribute in td template?

this sample xsl:

<xsl:template match="table">     <fo:table>          <xsl:if test="@border">              <xsl:attribute name="border-style">                 <xsl:value-of select="'solid'"/>             </xsl:attribute>             <xsl:attribute name="border-color">                 <xsl:value-of select="'black'"/>             </xsl:attribute>             <xsl:attribute name="border-width">                 <xsl:value-of select="@border"/>             </xsl:attribute>         </xsl:if>          <xsl:apply-templates />     </fo:table> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="col">     <fo:table-column column-number="{@number}" column-width="{@width*1.5}"/> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="tbody">     <fo:table-body start-indent="0pt" end-indent="0pt">         <xsl:apply-templates />     </fo:table-body> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="tr">     <fo:table-row>         <xsl:apply-templates />     </fo:table-row> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="td">     <fo:table-cell>         <fo:block>             <xsl:apply-templates />         </fo:block>     </fo:table-cell> </xsl:template>  

how can use width attribute in table template?

you need template process style attribute extract css properties. here i've written while ago xslt-1, xslt-2 can written more elegantly:

<xsl:template name="process-style">     <xsl:param name="style"/>     <!-- property name -->     <xsl:variable name="name" select="normalize-space(substring-before($style, ':'))"/>      <xsl:if test="$name">         <xsl:variable name="value-and-rest" select="normalize-space(substring-after($style, ':'))"/>         <xsl:variable name="value">             <xsl:choose>                 <xsl:when test="contains($value-and-rest, ';')">                     <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(substring-before(                         $value-and-rest, ';'))"/>                 </xsl:when>                 <xsl:otherwise>                     <xsl:value-of select="$value-and-rest"/>                 </xsl:otherwise>             </xsl:choose>         </xsl:variable>         <!-- process css properties -->         <xsl:choose>             <xsl:when test="$name = 'width'">                 <xsl:attribute name="width">                     <xsl:choose>                         <xsl:when test="contains($value,'px')">                             <!-- px mm conversion -->                             <xsl:value-of                                 select="number(normalize-space(substring-before($value,'px'))) * (2.54 div 72 * 10)"/>                             <xsl:text>mm</xsl:text>                         </xsl:when>                         <!-- add additional conversions here if needed -->                         <xsl:otherwise>                             <xsl:value-of select="$value"/>                         </xsl:otherwise>                     </xsl:choose>                 </xsl:attribute>             </xsl:when>             <xsl:when test="$name = 'background'">                 <!-- add implementation background processing -->             </xsl:when>             <!-- add addtional processing other css properties here needed                 <xsl:when test="$name = 'color'"></xsl:when>             -->             <xsl:otherwise> </xsl:otherwise>         </xsl:choose>     </xsl:if>     <xsl:variable name="rest" select="normalize-space(substring-after($style, ';'))"/>     <xsl:if test="$rest">         <xsl:call-template name="process-style">             <xsl:with-param name="style" select="$rest"/>         </xsl:call-template>     </xsl:if> </xsl:template> 

add stylesheet, , extend needed support other css properties may appear in style attributes.

than call this:

<xsl:template match="table"> <fo:table>      <xsl:call-template name="process-style">         <xsl:with-param name="style" select="@style"/>     </xsl:call-template> ...
