xsl template for converting string to xsl-fo table
Posted on 2010-08-13
Dear experts,
here is the story:
-from the database I get a simple string, which i just need to output to a table cell,
-but sometimes I get a string which has newlines (	 )and tab character ( ) in it,
--whenever I get this kind of string, I'd like to output it in a table cell which would mimic the NL&TAB formatting
I wanted to mimic the formatting by the means of a table. I am able to convert newlines to <fo:table-rows> and recursively print it out, but now I am stuck with recursivelly creating table-cells.
The code bellow creates table with corresponding number of rows (each new line is new table row)
Can anyone help me with creating a full table?

Never mind, I've found a solution by myself.
