Avery labels
Hi
I want to create an Avery labels report. The labels I use have 3
columns so I want a new row for the first, fourth, seventh, etc. To
this end I test the position and attempt to create a new row when
position() modulus 3 = 1.
<xsl:for-each select="//client">
<xsl:if test="position() mod 3 =1">
<!-- new row -->
<fo:table-row>
</xsl:if>
I then put in the cell and my name and address.
I then have a second test
<xsl:if test="position() mod 3 =1">
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
Unfortunately I get the error below
The element type "fo:table-row" must be terminated by the matching
end-tag "".
Could someone point me in the right direction please.
Frank

Someone probably has. That's why Jeremias was directing you to the XSLT
list where someone probably has already come up with a nifty solution
to your problem. The FOP Mailing List page[1] has links to the XSLT
List (hosted at Mulberry Tech)[2] where you can ask your question.
Better yet, the FOP Resources page has a section called Books,
Tutorials, Articles[3] which has links to many resources (online and
otherwise), where you can probably find the answer to your question. I
recommend Dave Pawson's excellent XSL FAQ[4] (which covers XSLT &
XSL-FO).
Hope this helps!

Many thanks for your thoughtful reply but I can't get it to work.
Surely someone has come across this problem before and found a solution.

This is an XSLT question, not really related to FOP.

You're violating XML structure like this (just like M$ does with
WordML).
That's why you're getting the error. You can't program
spaghetti-code-style in XSLT the way you were trying. Everything is
highly hierarchical.
You should put the table-cell in a named xsl:template where you can pass
in the node to use for the address. Then maybe you can do something
along these lines, for example:
<xsl:for-each select="//client">
<xsl:if test="position() mod 3 = 0"> <!--only take every third node-->
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:call-template name="my-cell">
<xsl:with-param name="my-node" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template/>
<xsl:call-template name="my-cell">
<xsl:with-param name="my-node"
select="following-sibling::client[1]"/>
</xsl:call-template/>
<xsl:call-template name="my-cell">
<xsl:with-param name="my-node"
select="following-sibling::client[2]"/>
</xsl:call-template/>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
Untested and without guarantees!
Get a good XSLT book. I recommend "XSLT and XPath - On The Edge" by Jeni
Tennison.

You'll be glad to know that I'm ordering an XSLT today.
