Matthias,
Do you have example code for passing the new image height & width values to
the XSL template? Are you using xsl:param & with-param coupled with
xsl:call-template? I'm having problems implementing this type of system
into my template.
Also, I'm modifying the margin-top & margin-bottom based on the elements
that are there. I'd like to do some sort of algorithm to compute this
(i.e., adding up each component to reach the total "margin-top" and using
that figure), instead of using hard-coded values using
xsl:choose/when/otherwise. Does anyone have any examples of this?
Thanks!
