Re: [docbook-apps] Table Header Column Formatting
Correct, I am looking at print output.

I was hoping to be able to do column specific formatting based on defining a role in the colspec. This does not seem possible, correct?

As an alternative, I have been trying to put a role on 'entry', but have not been successful. How do I change table.cell.properties based on an attribute of an ancestor?

Regards,

Marcel

Hi,

I presume you are asking about printed output, not 
HTML output.

There is a named template that handles the format 
properties on each table cell, and another to apply format properties to the 
fo:block inside each cell.  These are described in these two sections of my 
book:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.properties

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.block.properties

 

You could customize these using additional xpath 
selectors.  The existing template uses "ancestor::thead" to test for 
table header cells.  You could use "count(preceding-sibling::entry) = 0" to 
detect first cells in each row.

  Column Formatting

  

Is there an easy way do define a stylesheet that will format 
  the cells in a header column the same way the cells are formatting in a header 
  (thead) row?
