<fo:table-cell>
   <fo:attribute name="number-columns-spanned">
      <fo:value-of select="@colspan" />
   </fo:attribute>
</fo:table-cell>

Hi all..

How do I set the attribute to a FO element after the element has been declared?

I want to do something like this:

<fo:table-cell>
    <xsl:if test='@colspan'>
        <fo:attribute name="number-columns-spanned">
              <fo:value-of select="@colspan" />
       </fo:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
</fo:table-cell>

That is, I want to set the attribute number-columns-spanned for the element table-cell.
But the attribute is not always set in the XML file, so I can't count on the value being set..

The 'solution' above is not supported, at least not as far as I can see. Is there any other way to solve the problem? Any help is appreciated...
