Hi all,
I would like to have a border separating the <tfoot> from the last
<row> of the <tbody> of multiple <tgroup> elements in an
<informaltable>. The problem is that I don't know which row is the
*last* row before the <tfoot> element. The current context node is such
that I'm trying to test for the "last-last" element. In other words, I
need to test to see if the context node is the last one of its siblings,
*AND* that the parent of the context node is the last one of *its*
siblings.
<latest-attempt>
<xsl:template name="last-row">
<xsl:if test="not(self::*[following-sibling::*]) and
not(parent::*[following-sibling::*])">
<xsl:attribute name="rowsep">1</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</latest-attempt>
This doesn't work ... any thoughts on this much appreciated.
desired output:
<informaltable rowsep="0" frame="none" colsep="0">
<tgroup rowsep="0" colsep="0" cols="4">
<colspec colwidth="1*" colnum="1" colname="col1" align="left"/>
<colspec colwidth="3.1*" colnum="2" colname="col2" align="left"/>
<colspec colwidth="0.9*" colnum="3" colname="col3"
align="center"/>
<colspec colwidth="1*" colnum="4" colname="col4" align="center"/>
<thead>
<row>
<entry role="th-term" namest="col1" nameend="col2">Program
Requirements</entry>
<entry role="th-course-credits">Course Credits</entry>
<entry role="th-req-credits">Required Credits</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<row>
<entry role="tf-total-prog-credits" namest="col1"
nameend="col2">Total Program Credits</entry>
<entry/>
<entry role="tf-credit-total">24.00</entry>
</row>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<row><!-- ********* This row needs rowsep="1" **** ***** -->
<entry role="group-title" namest="col1" nameend="col2">
<emphasis role="bold">Required Courses:</emphasis>
</entry>
<entry/>
<entry role="group-credits">
<emphasis role="bold">24.00</emphasis>
</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
<tgroup>
... etc ...
</tgroup>
<tgroup>
... etc ...
</tgroup>
</informaltable>
This seems really kludgy - is there a way in docBook to set a border on
*top* of a row or tfoot?
