    <p>I'm trying to convert a table from XHTML to LaTeX using XSLT (version 1.0), but the table doesn't fit in the document useful area (width - 16cm).</p> <p>Tables without colspan fit exactly in the document useful area, but tables with colspan exceed this area.</p> <p>I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.</p> <p>Example</p> <p>XHMTL table</p> <pre><code>&lt;table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;LOREM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="10"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;consectetuer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;adipiscing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;elit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aenean&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;commodo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ligula&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dolor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aenean&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;massa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;sociis&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;natoque&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;penatibus&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;magnis&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;parturient&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;montes&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;nascetur&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ridiculus&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Donec&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;felis&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ultricies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>xsl code</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="xhtml:table"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\begin{center}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\begin{tabulary}{\linewidth}{&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="total_columns"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="sum(xhtml:tr[1]/*/@colspan) + count(xhtml:tr[1]/*[not(@colspan)])"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:variable&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;*{&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$total_columns"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;}{C}}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&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="self::xhtml:th"&gt;\bfseries&lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="@colspan"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="current()/@colspan&amp;gt;=0"&gt; \multicolumn{&lt;xsl:value-of select="current()/@colspan"/&gt;}{ &gt;{\centering\arraybackslash}m{ &lt;xsl:value-of select="((16 div $total_columns) * current()/@colspan)"/&gt;cm}}{ &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="@colspan"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="current()/@colspan&amp;gt;=0"&gt;}&lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&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:if test="position()!=last()"&gt;\\&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\\&amp;#10;\bottomrule&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;&amp;#10;\end{tabulary}&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;\end{center}&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COGood question. As I am not particularly familiar with LaTeX: What exactly is wrong with your LaTeX output? Perhaps you could show a snippet of the output you expect?

    2. COI'm not sure what is wrong with the LaTeX, the table is generated, but even with the width limited to 16cm, the table exceed the area. I want a table with maximum width 16cm.

    3. COThen, this is not necessarily an XSLT problem. You'll need to find the LaTeX code that works for you _first_ - in order to change your XSLT stylesheet accordingly. In other words: what LaTeX code generates the table you want?

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
