Hi Gregorio, Borders within a table are set on table cells, not on rows. I believe the reason for that must be cell spans, which can put the bottom of a cell in one row in the next row or several rows.
Customize the template 'table.cell.properties' from fo/table.xsl to set the custom borders.

Specifically I am getting custom striped rows, but I also need to generate white rowsep/colsep or cell borders. I am trying to do this in my custom layer, and here is a piece of the xsl: <xsl:template name="table.row.properties"> <xsl:variable name="tabstyle"> <xsl:call-template name="tabstyle"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="rownum"> <xsl:number from="tgroup" count="row"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$tabstyle = 'striped'"> <xsl:if test="$rownum mod 2 = 0"> <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#939598</xsl:attribute> <!--attributes to change border colors?--> <xsl:attribute name="border-right">0.5pt white</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="border-left">0.5pt white</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="$rownum mod 2 != 0"> <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#bcbec0</xsl:attribute> <!--?attributes to change border colors?--> </xsl:if> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> Obviously this is not working, the portions following <!--attributes to change border colors?--> are simply variations of my attempts to get some sort of change to the table.cell.properties, however I could not find any sort of combination to get the result I wish for, which would be white colored rules between the cells of the table. Is this even possible? Any suggestions? Thank you for taking the time to read my questions. /Gregorio
