Table border width
Hello,
What is the good way to have a simple table with a border which is the same
for each cell ? In my tests, I have very strange border inconsistencies
using border-width="1pt" (in fo:table-cell)?
Any help
Philippe

Hello,
I send you directly 3 files (2 xsl and one xml).
Just try something like :
fop -xsl sitprolot1.xsl -xml sitprolot1.xml -pdf test.pdf
and have a look at the second page of the pdf file.
Thanks
Philippe

I would be interested in having a look at the fo example you mentioned.

The problem is the same when I print out on a laser printer. I would like to
have only one point border but some cells are thicker, and for example, left
border of multi-lines cells are 1 point if there is text and thicker where
there is no text. I can attach one fo example if needed...

If you view the PDF on screen, there are round-off errors, in particular
for thin borders like 1pt. Such a thin border can be drawn with a one or
two pixel line, which makes a visible difference. You'll have to judge
from a print out on a printer with reasonable resolution (>300dpi).
If you are using borders of different width there may be other strange
effects, because FOP doesn't implement collapse-borders="true" (the
default) properly (it's difficult in the current design).

Probably Bug #13464. If you experience this with 0.20.5, you
are almost out of luck. Add a bit of space before the block
so that the last line goes to the next page.

Hi,
When I'm using line-height in a block and the text flows on next page the first word that drop on the next page is cut off. DO you know any fix for that?
Thanks a lot

Using something like the following should yeild consistent borders:
<!-- table start -->
<fo:table height="2cm">
<fo:table-column column-width="13cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="3.5cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="2.5cm"/>
<fo:table-body font-family="sans-serif" font-weight="normal"
font-size="14pt">
<fo:table-row line-height="15pt">
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row line-height="15pt">
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-width="1pt" border-color="black" border-style="solid"
padding="1mm">
<fo:block text-align="center">table cell</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
<!-- table end -->
