Re: [xsl-fo] generating the correct number of columns

if all the columns are going to be equal width then you can try this


<xsl:param name="cols"><xsl:value-of select="count(tr/td)" /></xsl:param>

<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="2cm" number-columns-repeated="{$cols}" />
...
</fo:table>
