becky goodfordSubject: forcing a blank line
Author: becky goodford

my xml file contains Section 1 with varied number of questions.
then section 2 with varied number of questions..then section 3 etc.

you helped me earlier on this, and I have it working fine...but, now I would like to force a blank line after the last question in each section.

(your previous help involved supressing of printing the Section title every time..)

You can probably change your loop start to something like:

...
<xsl:for-each select="datasettablename">
<xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::datasettablename[1]/section_title != section_title">
<fo:table-row height="12pt"/>
</xsl:if>
...

BTW, I've noticed two things that you may want to review:

- Your XSLT generates XSL-FO, which is an XML grammar; but you are setting your output method to "HTML"; I would recommend that you either remove your output method setting, or set it to "XML" instead

- Even if you are generating XSL-FO, you haven't set Stylus Studio to preview the result after a post-processing step that would convert XSL-FO into PDF. That would make testing much easier. You can instruct Stylus Studio to render the result as PDF selecting XSLT > Scenario Properties... and then choosing "Apache FOP" in the post-processing tab. Please not that post processing will not take place unless you change your output method to be undefined or XML

Hope this helps,
Minollo

good to know about the setting for xml.
we have been using another PDF generater, so each time I save the xsl fo code, I use the generator to preview results, as I could not get Stylus to work, but now that you mention the setting of xml instead of html, I will give that a try.
thanks again, btw this is the cheating code i used to eventually get it to work. it makes it look like a blank line...

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::datasettablename[1]/section_title = section_title"></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:block color="white">one</fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="section_title"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

For the record, you can configure your own XSL-FO processor in Stylus Studio to do post-processing; we have examples about how to configure RenderX, for example (http://www.stylusstudio.com/renderx/xep.html).
