    <p>I'm new in XSLT (v1.0) and I can't convert complex XHTML tables to LaTeX using XSLT.</p> <p>What I mean when I said complex tables, are tables with rows with different number of columns. In other words, <code>td</code> with <code>colspan</code>.</p> <p>i.e. (xhtml table)</p> <pre><code>&lt;table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="68" colspan="3"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Values&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="68"&gt; &lt;p&gt;95&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="68"&gt; &lt;p&gt;169&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top" width="68"&gt; &lt;p&gt;180&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>What I'm doing in the XSL file is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="xhtml:table[@border='1']"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\begin{center}&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\begin{tabular}{&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:for-each select="xhtml:tr[1]/*"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;c&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position() = last()"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\toprule&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:for-each select="xhtml:tr"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position() != 1"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\midrule&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position() = 2"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\midrule&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:for-each select="xhtml:td|xhtml:th"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="name() = 'th'"&gt;{\bf &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates /&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="name() = 'th'"&gt;}&lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position() != last()"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt; \\&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\bottomrule&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\end{tabular}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\end{center}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>But as you can see, this code just works for simple tables, without the colspan attribute. The code loops around the first <code>tr</code>, and for each <code>td</code>, it writes an "c". So, in the case above, it will only create a one column table.</p> <p>What I want to do is count the number of <code>td</code>, and the number of colspans if it exists, to create a correct table, with 3 columns.</p> <p>Does anyone knows how to do this? Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
