XSL-FO Tables


XSL-FO uses the <fo:table-and-caption> element to define tables.


XSL-FO Tables

The XSL-FO table model is not very different from the HTML table model.

There are nine XSL-FO objects used to create tables:

  • fo:table-and-caption
  • fo:table
  • fo:table-caption
  • fo:table-column
  • fo:table-header
  • fo:table-footer
  • fo:table-body
  • fo:table-row
  • fo:table-cell

XSL-FO uses the <fo:table-and-caption> element to define a table. It contains a <fo:table> and an optional <fo:caption> element.

The <fo:table> element contains optional <fo:table-column> elements, an optional <fo:table-header> element, a <fo:table-body> element, and an optional <fo:table-footer> element. Each of these elements has one or more <fo:table-row> elements, with one or more <fo:table-cell> elements:

<fo:table-and-caption>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>

<fo:table-header>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block font-weight="bold">Car</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block font-weight="bold">Price</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
</fo:table-header>

<fo:table-body>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>Volvo</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>$50000</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
  <fo:table-row>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>SAAB</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
    <fo:table-cell>
      <fo:block>$48000</fo:block>
    </fo:table-cell>
  </fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>

</fo:table>
</fo:table-and-caption>

The output from the code above would be something like this:

Car Price
Volvo $50000
SAAB $48000
