understanding borders
Good morning, Eliot,

I'm trying to understand border conditionality.

Given that I probably never would have figured this out on my own had
the folks at Antenna House not put me on to border-width.conditionality,
I would urge the writers of XSL tutorials to include a discussion of
this important but subtle aspect of XSL-FO.

I'm in the process of doing this, Eliot, but I'm trying to think of a situation where you'd be bordering your blocks and not using something like a bordered table.


I'm assuming you are dealing with multi-line paragraph-like blocks and not small blocks like figure captions, since you don't get a page-break for a single-line block.

Can you share a use-case scenario where users will want to border their blocks?

Thanks for all your suggestions!

............. Ken
