Matthias,
Thanks very much for this! You've saved me a couple of days work... If this
XSL were danke-ware, I'd say "Danken Sie einem Bündel!" (isn't Babelfish
super!?)...
You mention that:
>(Actually this is a simplified version because I support pictures inside
>tables as well).
BTW, how would the code be different when tables are involved? I too am
placing my picture inside of a table, and I've noticed that (in FOP) the
width/height & content-width/content-height don't seem to have any effect
(it could be because I'm typically scaling down).
Also, I notice you use "document($dataFile)" but it doesn't appear to be
defined in the XSL below. Do you replace "$dataFile" with what you use to
call the XML file with the graphics?
Thanks again!
