A table consists of a series of embeded elements; the hyerarchy goes somewhat like this (assume fo namespace): <table> <table-body> <table-row> <table-cell> <block>here is the actual content</block> </table-cell> </table-row> </table-body> </table> Since any of these elements can take borders, and they are inside one another, you can end up with up to 5 glued borders - that's probably why you perceive "lines of different width". Try adding margins to the elements so you can see the borders separetely. While "nice-looking" is a fairly subjective concept, try doing this: 1) use border-collapse="collapse" on the table element to make adjacent borders overlap 2) use borders only in the table-cell to minimize confusion I usually get "nice" tables, see the files attached. (Sorry if the FO is not very readable, it was generated by XSLT. Try 'tidying' it.) (See attached file: gps_test.fo)(See attached file: gps_test.pdf) Cheers. ============================================= Marcelo Jaccoud Amaral Petrobrás (http://www.petrobras.com.br) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: +55 21 2534-3485 fax: +55 21 2534-1809 ============================================= If brute force doesn't work, maybe you're not using enough brute force. "Steve Cameron" <asc@fortiscleari Para: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ng.com.au> cc: Assunto: uneven table borders 18/09/2002 21:48 Favor responder a fop-dev Can anyone provide me with an example of a 'nice' looking PDF table generated with Fop. I have tried a few border options and end up with lines of different width along different sides of the table and rows. I do not have any more time to play with this and am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction with an example or two. thanks Stephen Cameron Systems Support Analyst Fortis Clearing Sydney phone: +61 2 9233 6497 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================================================================= This e-mail is sent for the sole attention of the identified addressee and its contents are provided for information purposes only.
