xslt - XSL FO Table row header content is smashed -

i creating xsl fo table have varying number of columns. application uses apache fop display transformed document. when there low number of columns, displays fine (i.e. content of cells centered , displayed in full although columns end taking 2 lines because text wraps). however, tables have on 12 columns, , problem occurs: in column header cells, name of column way right of cell taking multiple lines. looks words wrapping, last 2 characters seemingly cut off. text not leaking neighboring cells.

here input xml file in case it's row table header , 1 row body brevity's sake. didn't include chart elements referenced in xsl document part displays properly:

<exports>    <export>      <table>         <tblrow>             <hdrcell>month</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pepm med</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pepm rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pepm med , rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pmpm med</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pmpm rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>allow amt pmpm med , rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>employees avg med or rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>members avg med or rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pepm med</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pepm rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pepm med , rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pmpm med</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pmpm rx</hdrcell>             <hdrcell>net pay pmpm med , rx</hdrcell>         </tblrow>         <tblrow>             <tblcell>jan 2010</tblcell>             <tblcell>11</tblcell>             <tblcell>202</tblcell>             <tblcell>213</tblcell>             <tblcell>26</tblcell>             <tblcell>30</tblcell>             <tblcell>56</tblcell>             <tblcell>56</tblcell>             <tblcell>44</tblcell>             <tblcell>11</tblcell>             <tblcell>22</tblcell>             <tblcell>33</tblcell>             <tblcell>12</tblcell>             <tblcell>12</tblcell>             <tblcell>24</tblcell>             <tblcell>1</tblcell>         </tblrow>      </table> </export> 

and here xsl file transforms input file xsl fo. new xsl.

i have tried setting padding right property each table-cell's block element hoping shift text left no avail. have tried adjusting 'width' property of each block element child of table-cell. new xsl in general, i'm not sure how proceed. helpful specify elements specific width? can ensure full width of table displayed in pdf , without jumbled, truncated cell content? also, units in 'px' not specified.

thanks in advance,

answer: removing margin="0.25in" surrounding block yields result think expect (except of course margin on block). clear, change this:

<fo:block id="tableblock" margin="0.25in">       <xsl:apply-templates select="exports/export/table"/> </fo:block> 

and remove margin="0.25in".

note: not result different formatter. used renderx on original file , expect , correct result. used fop , incorrect result remove indent (which being inherited someway improperly 1 dimension of table cells).

one additional note: have 15 header cells , 16 cells in sample.
