I use markers and a "retrieve-table-marker" in XSL-FO to create footers in a PDF conversion.
I need a solution in which a single-column table has a “clean” footer, and a multi-column table has a footer with added text (“continued”) before each column break. Added text should be applied only before page breaks if the table is split between columns.
My current code almost does this. It works well for tables with multiple columns, but for the table with one column, the text "continue" is added, although the table is not interrupted.
Code:
<fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block> <fo:marker marker-class-name="footer-continued">(continued)</fo:marker> </fo:block> <fo:block> <xsl:text>Contents</xsl:text> </fo:block> <fo:block> <fo:marker marker-class-name="footer-continued"></fo:marker> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> <fo:table-footer> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block> <fo:retrieve-table-marker retrieve-class-name="footer-continued" retrieve-position="first-including-carryover" retrieve-boundary-within-table="table"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-footer>
