Re: case insensitivity

Hello Olaf Wentzien

Yes i got the point. Actually i was missing the include. i.e
xmlns:fn"http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"
so as i added this the function has started to work.

<xsl:when test="lower-case(F2) = lower-case('Starting Balance') ">
        <xsl:value-of select="F2"/>
    </fo:inline>

Thanks
