Got it: for the record here it is:
count(./TR/TD[1])
+ sum(./TR/TD[1]/@COLSPAN|./TR/TD[1]/@ROWSPAN)
- count (./TR/TD[1]/@COLSPAN|./TR/TD[1]/@ROWSPAN)

Hello....
Trying to convert a simple HTML2 table: please help!
1. On encountering a TABLE element,
2. examine the first child (guaranteed to be a TR element):
3. count the number of TD elements within the TR (guaranteed the only content),
4. and add to that count the value of every attribute named COLSPAN.
Well, I can count the number of TD's in TABLE/TR,
<xsl:template match="TABLE">
COUNT 1 [ <xsl:value-of select="count(./TR/TD)"/> ]
</xsl:template>
I can't figure out how to write an XPath expression to calculate
a total of all the TD/@COLSPANs....
If the worst comes to the worst, I can add some code to the script that
generates
the HTML-like source, so that tables include a COLSPEC-like element, but that
seems an even easier way out than asking for help here....
Worst yet, I've just moved to Hungary and left Mike Kay's book in London
(what was I thinking?)
Thanks in anticipaiton,
lee goddard
