RE: Transforming tables from calstblx.dtd into XML/XSL

You would need other templates matching thead, tbody, and tfoot that expressed the HTML tags. We're going to XML, not HTML, so I don't have those templates.

tfoot is an element in the cals table model ... the table footer. cals puts the footer before the body because it can speed rendering times on "devices" that paginate because it can put the header and footer on the first page of a multi-page table without processing the entire table first. if the footer follows the body, the entire table must be processed before the first page can be rendered ... in order to grab the footer info. make sense?

Thank you, Paul. Would I apply these templates with html tr/td format to
create the table? Very new to this table thing!

p.s. what is tfoot?

Many thanks,

kathy

I have two code samples you can try. The first expresses the tfoot as the
last element INSIDE tbody (don't ask, we need it that way though). Probably
you will want the second which expresses the tfoot AFTER tbody. (Note: MSIE
5 handles the tfoot between the thead and tbody in HTML without a problem.)

<!--
	Expresses the tgroup tag and the following tags in this order:
		colspec
		thead
		tbody
			tfoot
	where tfoot is INSIDE tbody.
-->
<xsl:template match="tgroup">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="colspec"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="thead"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="tbody"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tbody">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:copy-of select="preceding-sibling::tfoot"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


and
