Chris,
First of all thanks for your reply.
The reason I'm in need of the separate borders is as follows;
I only want a particular column of a table to be surrounded by
lines, not all columns. Please have a look at underneath table
structure
------
R1C1 |R1C2| R1C3
------ <-- (This line is actually 2
times the linewidth !)
R2C1 |R2C2| R2C3
------
The reason I'm using a table with three columns is to have the
texts to be lined out correctly (of all columns)
Perhaps, i.e. hopefully, there is a different way of achieving
such behavior. If so, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Leonard
FEATURE REQUEST FOP: It would be nice if there is an alternative to the
'border-collapse="separate" considering the linewidth of
overlapping borders. Think of an "border-collapse='xxx'" where the
xxx garantuees that when borders of table cells are overlapping,
only a single line is drawn.

This is NOT a bug. FOP is doing exactly what you asked it to. It has
drawn
separate borders for each cell. If you dont want double lines for the
inner
lines, then you are going to have to specify border-collapse="collapse"
Why
*must* you specify border-collapse="separate" If you exaplain what you
are
trying to acheive we may be able to suggest a solution.
Chris
