I am working on XSL version 1.1 to generate word doc for some text.
I need to place a table in the Header and Footer of this document but I'm not able to achieve this by placing <fo:table> inside <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> of the doc. As the table is always created in the body and not in the Header or footer of the table. If anyone has any idea please Help!

I am confused. Are you creating a PDF or RTF (rich text format). RTF doesn't use FO: but writes to text:

E.g.

 <xsl:variable name="rowstyle1">
            <xsl:text>\trrh0</xsl:text>
            <xsl:text>\clvertalc\clpadl0\clpadfl3\clpadb0\clpa dfb3\clpadt0\clpadft3\clpadr0\clpadfr3\cellx</xsl:text>
            <xsl:value-of select="ceiling(($columnwidth0_0) * 1440.000)" />
            <xsl:text>\clvertalc\clpadl0\clpadfl3\clpadb0\clpa dfb3\clpadt0\clpadft3\clpadr0\clpadfr3\cellx</xsl:text>
            <xsl:value-of select="ceiling(($columnwidth0_0 + $columnwidth0_1) * 1440.000)" />
        </xsl:variable>

Thanks a lot for replying

I am creating RTF, but I didn't get the example you referred
Can you please throw some more light on this?

I tried using <table> inside <xsl:text> also, but it says
"table is not allowed in this position in the stylesheet!"

Here 'this position' means '<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">'
Anyone has any more idea, please reply!

Why did you put a <table> element inside <xsl:text>? The only thing allowed inside xsl:text is text.

Please have a look the first post.

I am new to XSL and I was trying to place a table in Header of RTF. I couldn't achieve it by using <fo:table> so I tried using this approach as was suggested in second post

The second post used xsl:text because it was writing text, which is what RTF is. If you're outputting XSL-FO elements then you're not outputting text so you don't need xsl:text. Are you trying to output RTF, or XSL-FO? The solutions will be completely different for the two cases.

Thanks Michael,

           I am writing RTF and I am outputting XSL-FO elements to this so, essentially I am trying to output XSL-FO.

Can you please suggest a solution for this?

No, sorry, I can't help with XSL-FO questions.

I believe you are mixing apples and oranges. XSLT and XSL-FO produce different output from XML.

XSLT - transforms XML into Text, Html, RTF, XML
XSL-FO transforms XML into PDF

You said " I am writing RTF and I am outputting XSL-FO elements to this so, essentially I am trying to output XSL-FO."- i dont think ths is possible. What exactly are you trying to create from XML (PDF or RTF)?

If you are trying to produce RTF you will need to learn both XSLT and RTF syntax (http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm). Altova has a great tool called Stylevision that writes most of this for you.
