Hi Andrew,
there are already some examples in the archive. It's not possible in the way
you want to do it. I know only 2 possibilities: RTF or Dimitre's FXSL.

Hi all,
Please can someone give me the xpath that will sum() the following
values into the select attribute of a variable (ie not a rtf).
<colspec colwidth="38mm"/>
<colspec colwidth="22mm"/>
<colspec colwidth="26mm"/>
<colspec colwidth="43mm"/>
so something like:
<xsl:variable name="total"
select="sum(substring-before(//tgroup/colspec/@colwidth,'mm'))"/>
..this obviously fails because sum() requires a node-set and the
substring functions return strings, but you get the idea. I dont think
its possible to do in a single select but you never know, hopefully
there's some trick available.
cheers
