Keeping text together in two different table cells

[Jacqueline Radebaugh <jr...@loc.gov>]

Hello:

I have created a table in XSL-FO where the output should look like:

$a    Name of $a
$b    Name of $b

My XSL-FO code is:

<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
<fo:table-column column-width="40mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="10mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
  <fo:block>	
<xsl:text>$</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="label"/>
</fo:block>
     </fo:table-cell>
     <fo:table-cell>
<fo:block >
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
  </fo:block>
  </fo:table-cell>
    </fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>

My XML code is:

<subfield>
<label>a</label>
<name>Formatted contents note</name>
</subfield>

Unfortunately, sometimes the <name> data exceeds the line of the column and flows on over to the next line.  When this happens, my output columns resemble:

$a    Name of $a that goes over the 
line and ruins my columns.
$b    Name of $b

I would like the output to ultimately look like (where the <name> data is aligned):

$a    Name of $a that goes over the 
         line and ruins my columns.
$b    Name of $b

but I do not know how to do this. 

Is there a way to maintain the alignment of the table columns when the <name> data runs down to the next line?

Thank you very much for your help!  I sincerely appreciate it.


Best wishes,

Sorry. I seem to be unable to reproduce the problem. :/

What version are you using? Can you please post the FO (not source  
XML and XSLT template)?

Feeding FOP Trunk the following as input

<fo:table-cell>
    <fo:block>$a</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
   <fo:block>Name of $a that goes over the line and ruins my columns</ 
fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

The second line of the second cell is neatly aligned with the rest.

Cheers,

Andreas
