Quoting David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>:
The source object is an printed broschure which was generated in InDesign. I want to create a more automated possibility for ceating the print data. Thats why I "try" to learn XSL(T) because the source data comes from a database as xml files. The main problem is that the document has a more or less complex structure. For example every page has a different number of lines. If there is a less number of lines than the maximum number of lines on a page the rest of the page will be filled by announcements or sth else from a pool of grafics. My suggestion was: page height minus the lines of a certain group of elements so that I can see if there is enough space for an announcement or not. At the beginning of the project I was very enthusiastic but now I realise how much programmers know how is behind the "small" broschure. And I am not a real programmer. My first contact with programming. Thanks for listening :-) and helping. Andreas
