A correction to my last e-mail.

The border collisions using border-collapse='separate' only seem to occur
when the contents of the cells is empty.
The attached exampled has a '-' in each formerly empty cell - and renders
correctly!

(Interestingly - if the content is empty it looks as if the left and right
hand borders can get switched around).

So - I think I might be able to solve most of my immediate problems by using
a zero-width space or something similar.

Thanks.

Hi.

I tried border-collapse='separate' and - while this worked OK for a simple
table
It doesn't work for tables with cells spanning rows (see attached - which
also has border-separation='1pt').

I think this could qualify as a bug.

Mike

Thanks - I'll check on this.

I thought FOP only supported border-collapse='collapse'd tables - but may be
getting this confused with 'fixed' layout.
(And had also forgotten that the collapsed borders model DOES centre borders
on the border rectangle edge.)
I've had a few surprises with table borders in the past which might be why
I've stuck with the collapsed model for so long.

I think the problem was that using separated borders required a lot more
specification of attributes to get the appearance I wanted.

If I make all my borders the same colour and style then I can ignore the
rendering order problem for the moment.

I'm re-reading the border+space behaviours and precedence settings now.

Thanks again.
