Jeni,

remember that topic? Well, actually that IS what we have right now...
Our client has changed it's export and the description_items aren't sorted
at all.
Unfortunately i do not have an example at the moment. But I am wondering if
there is any way at all to solve this then...
I hope that i will get a real example tomorrow.

Here's the sorted example again:


<DESCRIPTION_TABLE>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="0" row="0">
    <LABEL>Verantwortlicher</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="0" row="1">
    <LABEL>Prozessziel</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="0" row="2">
    <LABEL>Messgrösse</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="0" row="3">
    <LABEL>Benötigte Informationen</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="0" row="4">
    <LABEL>Erzeugte Ergebnisse</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="1" row="0">
    <LABEL>Externe Vorschriften</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="1" row="1">
    <LABEL>Hinweise</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="1" row="2">
    <LABEL>Potenzial</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="1" row="3">
    <LABEL>Mitgeltende Unterlagen</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
   <DESCRIPTION_ITEM col="1" row="4">
    <LABEL>Offene Fragen</LABEL>
    <VALUE>Text</VALUE>
   </DESCRIPTION_ITEM>
  </DESCRIPTION_TABLE>

and the working template:

<xsl:template match="DESCRIPTION_TABLE">

<xsl:variable name="nrows" select="DESCRIPTION_ITEM[last()]/@row + 1" />
<xsl:variable name="ncols" select="DESCRIPTION_ITEM[last()]/@col + 1" />


  <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">

    <xsl:for-each select="DESCRIPTION_ITEM[@row = 0]">
    <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)" />
  </xsl:for-each>


    <fo:table-body font-size="8pt">


   <xsl:for-each select="DESCRIPTION_ITEM[@col = 0]">
    <fo:table-row>
      <xsl:for-each select="../DESCRIPTION_ITEM [(position() - 1) mod $nrows
= current()/@row]">

        <fo:table-cell>
         <fo:block>
  <xsl:call-template name="desc_items"><xsl:with-param name="item"
select="."/></xsl:call-template>
          </fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </fo:table-row>
  </xsl:for-each>

    </fo:table-body>
  </fo:table>
</xsl:template>


any idea, already?

sascha
