How to expand blocks in table in table ?
I need to show a set ( a lot of ) of key-value pairs layed out in grid.
I took a table, in each cell I put a block with border and background
set into which goes a new table with 2 rows each one cell.
First cell holds the key wich is in smaller font, and the value .
If the conent is to big for one line a linebreak is inserted an the cell
gets bigger. Fine. Only the other cells of the top-level-table will not
expand even with space-after.optimum and space-after set to 0.
Question:
How can I get the cells (and nesting blocks) of one row to be
the same height ?
Thanx, torsten k.

Re: How to expand blocks in table in table ?
Posted by Chuck Paussa <Ch...@systems.dhl.com>.
Torsten,
You'll have to calculate how many lines are going to result from your
comment text (Use length(.) on every comment and find the max number of
lines in the xsl)
Then do a white-space-collapse="false" and insert that many 

entries after the comments that do not meet the line wrap requirement.
I've attached an example.
