Set table background colour. Must be outside for-each loo
Set cell background colour, within cell margins
Break table across page
Set cell text to bold
Set text within table to bold
Spans element over amount of specified columns
Used in conjunction with 'when' and 'otherwise'
Create copy of current node
Define mask for use with format-number() function
Cycle through nodes in specified XML section
Conditional statement
Used in conjunction with 'when' and 'otherwise'
Sort group of data based on element
Declare template
Used in conjuction with <xsl:apply-templates ... >
Placeholder syntax
Declare variable
Used in conjunction with 'when' and 'otherwise'

Description
The statement affects the whole section including the
header and footer. For example, a for-each@section context
command creates a new section for each occurrence - with
restarted page numbering and header and footer.
The statement will affect the whole column of a table. This
context is typically used to show and hide table columns
depending on the data.
The statement will affect the cell of a table. This is often
used together with @column in cross-tab tables to create
a dynamic number of columns.
The statement will affect multiple complete
fo:blocks (RTF paragraphs). This context is typically used for
if and for-each statements. It can also be used to apply
formatting to a paragraph or a table cell.

The context will become the single statement inside an


fo:inline block. This context is used for variables.
The statement is inserted immediately after the surrounding
statement. This is the default for <?sort?> statements that
need to follow the surrounding for-each as the first element.
The statement becomes a single statement inside an
fo:block (RTF paragraph). This is typically not useful for
control statements (such as if and for-each) but is useful for
statements that generate text, such as call-template.
The statement will affect multiple complete inline sections.
An inline section is text that uses the same formatting,
such as a group of words rendered as bold.
The statement will be placed at the beginning of the XSL
stylesheet. This is required for global variables.
The statement will be placed at the end of the XSL stylesheet.
