JBryant's XSLT 2.0 column width hack - odd results?
Hello, i am a new user and being faced with the problem of outputting large
tables, i ran into the table-layout="auto" NYI trap, obviously.
Now, i found JB's post from 21.09, and went ahead to reproduce the Method
laid out. All worked fine; i'm getting the expected results; but the
resulting PDF looks so odd i ran the original file from the post to check..
Same result.
That's not really useable, so before i dig any further into this arcane XSLT
i do not yet even fully grasp the meaning of, did anyone else go this way
successfully? Is it even feasible? My output will span multiple pages and a
dozen of columns.. What about performance?
What's the golden way here? Spend thousands of dollars on XEP? (Not really
an option...) Implement auto-layout? (Maybe i can convince myself to it.)
Or will i be a happy camper if i go ahead and fix the XSLT, after fully
understanding it?
Any prior Experience would be welcome..
thanks in advance, ben

Did you set border-collapse="separate" on the fo:table?

I got the attached result. As you can see, I didn't get ghosting table
cells. Try Jeremias's suggestion of using border-collapse="separate" on the
fo:table element.

What do you want to have done differently? What do you find odd about the
result?
