Re: CALS to XHTML table - rowspan

I have to solve a similar problem in going from CALS tables to InDesign
tables.

To solve it I generate an intermediate view of the table with all cells
made explicit. I then use that to generate the correct InDesign table
structure.

The code is part of the DITA for Publishers DITA-to-InDesign framework,
which you can find here:

https://github.com/dita4publishers/org.dita4publishers.dita2indesign

The table processing code is:

https://github.com/dita4publishers/org.dita4publishers.dita2indesign/blob/m
aster/xsl/calstbl2IcmlImpl.xsl

The mode "make matrix table" is the mode that generates the matrix view of
the CALS table. You might find that useful for your task.

Cheers,

Eliot
