Subject: Getting a <TableRow> where <Cell> doesn't contain a colspan attribute
From: Casper Voortman <casper.voortman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello everyone,

Hope somebody can help me with the correct phrasing for this test. It must be within xslt 1.0

In the following xml structure i want to check for a <TableRow> where the child element <Cell> doesn't contain the attribute 'ColSpan'. The reason that i need a <TableRow> without colspan cells is to calculate with an for-each command the number of columns within the table.

xml sample:

<Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst">
<Text Cstyle="[No character style]">
<Table>
<TableHeader>
<TableRow>
<Cell Width="25" TopBorder="3" RightBorder="3" BottomBorder="3" LeftBorder="3" VAlign="top">
<Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst">
<Text Cstyle="[No character style]">header</Text>
</Paragraph>
</Cell>
<Cell Width="25" TopBorder="3" RightBorder="3" BottomBorder="3" LeftBorder="3" VAlign="top">
<Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst">
<Text Cstyle="[No character style]">header</Text>
</Paragraph>
</Cell>
<Cell Width="25" TopBorder="3" RightBorder="3" BottomBorder="3" LeftBorder="3" VAlign="top">
<Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst">
<Text Cstyle="[No character style]">header</Text>
</Paragraph>
</Cell>
<Cell Width="25" TopBorder="3" RightBorder="3" BottomBorder="3" LeftBorder="3" VAlign="top">

</Cell>
</TableRow>

<Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst">
<Text Cstyle="[No character style]">footer</Text>
</Paragraph>
</Cell>
</TableRow>
</TableFooter>
</Table>
</Text>
</Paragraph>

What i got sofar is:

<!-- Match 'Table'. -->
<xsl:template match="Table">
<informaltable>
<xsl:choose>
<!-- Check if attribute border (top, right, bottom, left) is defined. -->
<!-- Otherwise leave attribute out. -->
<xsl:when test="descendant::Cell/@TopBorder">
<xsl:attribute name="border">
<xsl:value-of select="descendant::Cell/ @TopBorder"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="descendant::Cell/@RightBorder">
<xsl:attribute name="border">
<xsl:value-of select="descendant::Cell/ @RightBorder"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="descendant::Cell/@BottomBorder">
<xsl:attribute name="border">
<xsl:value-of select="descendant::Cell/ @BottomBorder"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="descendant::Cell/@LeftBorder">
<xsl:attribute name="border">
<xsl:value-of select="descendant::Cell/ @LeftBorder"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="descendant::TableRow/ not(Cell[@ColSpan])"> <== this is wrong phrasing i know, but can't find the correct one.
<xsl:for-each select="descendant::TableRow/Cell">
<col/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </informaltable>
    </xsl:template>
