Running Totals
————–
Declares the “RTotVar”
variable and initializes it to 0.
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘RTotVar’, 0)?>
Sets the value of RTotalVar to the current value plus the new Invoice Amount.
Retrieves the RTotalVar value for display.
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘xml_tag’, xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘RTotVar’) + xml_tag)?><?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘RTotVar’)?>
Data Handling
Sorting
———-
<?sort:xml_tag?>
<?sort:xml_tag1?> <?sort:xml_tag2?><?sort:xml_tag2?>
Regrouping
———-
To regroup the data, use the following syntax:
<?for-each-group: BASE-GROUP;GROUPING-ELEMENT?>
Regrouping by an Expression
To establish nested groupings within the already defined group, use the following
<?for-each:current-group(); GROUPING-ELEMENT?>
Using Variables
—————
Use the following syntax to declare/set a variable value:
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘variable name’, value)?>
Use the following syntax to retrieve a variable value:
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘variable name’)?>
You can use this method to perform calculations.
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘x’, xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, ‘x’+1)?>
Defining Parameters
——————-
Declare the parameter in the template.
Use the following syntax to declare the parameter:
<?param@begin:parameter_name;parameter_value?>
parameter_name is the name of the parameter
parameter_value is the default value for the parameter (the parameter_value is optional)
Setting Properties
Advanced Report Layouts
<?for-each@section:group name?>
where group_name is the name of the element for which you want to begin a new
section.
For example, the for-each grouping statement for this example will be as follows:
<?for-each@section:G_INVOICE?>
The closing <?end for-each?> tag is not changed.
Dynamic Data Columns
——————–
• Dynamic Column Header
<?split-column-header:group element name?>
• Dynamic Column <?split-column-data:group element name?>
• Dynamic Column Width
<?split-column-width:name?> or

Locating Data
Using XSL Elements
Apply a Template Rule
———————
Use this element to apply a template rule to the current element’s child nodes.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:apply-templates select=”name”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?apply:name?>
This function applies to <xsl:template-match=”n”> where n is the element name.
Copy the Current Node
———————-
Use this element to create a copy of the current node.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:copy-of select=”name”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?copy-of:name?>
Call Template
————-
Use this element to call a named template to be inserted into or applied to the current
template. For example, use this feature to render a table multiple times.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:call-template name=”name”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?call-template:name?>
Template Declaration
——————–
Use this element to apply a set of rules when a specified node is matched.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:template name=”name”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?template:name?>
Variable Declaration
——————–
Use this element to declare a local or global variable.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:variable name=”name”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?variable:name?>
Example:
——–
<xsl:variable name=”color” select=”‘red'”/>
Assigns the value “red” to the “color” variable. The variable can then be referenced in
the template.
Import Stylesheet
—————–
Use this element to import the contents of one style sheet into another.
Note: An imported style sheet has lower precedence than the importing
style sheet.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:import href=”url”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?import:url?>
Define the Root Element of the Stylesheet
—————————————–
This and the <xsl:stylesheet> element are completely synonymous elements. Both are used to define the root element of the style sheet.
Note: An included style sheet has the same precedence as the including
style sheet.
XSL Syntax: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:x=”url”>
BI Publisher Tag: <?namespace:x=url?>
