How to draw vertical line between columns in region body
HI,
In fo:region-body level that we can define column-count for a page, and
using this we can implement a functionality that if text overflow in first
coumn it will automatically flow to next column.
My problem is that if I have span="none", I want to draw vertical line
between columns.
Any suggestions on this would be greatly helpful.
Thanks
Mahesh

This works fine (except the vertical line witch is not centered in the
svg drawing).
Note that background-color must be applied only on spanned blocks that
are direct children of fo:flow.
Try this with your fo:simple-page-master:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="only">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>some text. some text. some text. some text. some
text.</fo:block>
<fo:block>some text. some text. some text. some text. some
text.</fo:block>
<fo:block span="all" background-color="white">spanning some text.
spanning some text. spanning some text. spanning some text.</fo:block>
<fo:block>some text. some text. some text. some text. some
text.</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>

Hi Pascal,
I tried this option. but the vertical line is breaking and its not coming
continuosly if blocks has span="none".
I am using latest trunk build FOP jar to generate PDF file.
XSL-FO config:
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="only"

page-width="8.5in"
margin-top="1in"

column-count="2" column-gap="0.15in"
background-position-horizontal="center"
background-repeat="repeat-y"
background-image='url("line1.svg")'/>
<fo:region-before extent="1in"/>
<fo:region-after extent="1in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
Line svg file code:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

What JP suggested was:
put a background onto the body region, not directly on to fo:block.
This is why objects with span="all" should be "backgrounded" with white,
masking the vertical line.
In fact you have several options to achieve this:
1/ define a background-image for the fo:region-body:
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="xxx">
<fo:region-body background-image="image_url"/>
<!-- the image can be in any format, but svg gives nice result -->
</fo:simple-page-master>
2/ insert a fo:block-container absolutely positionned in one of the
static regions (better choice is start-region, since its coordinate
origin is the same as the page)
note that this only works with FOP 0.9x.
in this latter case, an empty fo:b-c (with an empty fo:block) is
sufficient, you just need a vertical border on it.
HTH,
Pascal

Hi Pietschmann,
As per your suggestion, I tried to insert background svg image for blocks
which do not have span="all" property. But the vertical line is coming twice
because we dont know what is the end block for first column in region body.
I want to draw vertical line between columns only.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks
Mahesh Rayudu.

The commonly suggested solution is to use a background image
for the body region. You can try to use an SVG instead of
a bitmap image. If you have a span="all" block, you should
give it a white backgound image in order to mask the vertical
line for this block.
