I have a fo:table in which I display data in the fo:region-body, with an xsl:for-each construct. I think you are conflating two concepts: table borders and body region gap decorations. For the table border, I suggest you specify the border on every cell in that column. But that will only draw the lines for the extent of the table. As there are no standardized gap decoration facilities available, I believe you are obliged to use the page background to extend any line for the height of the body region. If you have an image of a small vertical bar, then you can centre that on the background of the body region and repeat it vertically, thus filling the body region from top to bottom. Alternatively you might find that the XSL-FO engine you are using has extensions that will decorate the gaps. Having done that, though, then you have to obscure the vertical bar for content that isn't in the table. Which isn't pretty. You might get away with it by using block containers with white backgrounds. But I think you clearly need to decide are you decorating table columns or page column gaps. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . Ken -- Contact us for world-wide XML consulting & instructor-led training Crane Softwrights Ltd. http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/s/ G.
