Hi all,

I was testing the FOP 0.93 the other day and worked through some samples and tried some myself. I was wondering why something like:

<fo:table border-width="0.5pt" border-color="red" >

does not give a border and

<fo:table border-width="0.5pt" border-color="red" border-style="solid">

does.

However, I may be just misinterpreting the spec there, and even if I don't, it is a minor bug which I can easily work around. I had some more trouble getting the borders of fo:table-column and fo:table-row to work. It did not work in the "borders.fo" example which I found in the binary package, yet on the compliance page on the FOP website it says support for fo:table-row and fo:table-column is "yes". I tried this (and some others):

<fo:table-column column-width="3cm" border-width="0.5pt" border-color="green" border-style="solid" />

but it failed. I tried several border-collapse settings (I know that only "separate" is supported), but that didn't help either. As a result, I have two questions to the community:

1. If the compliance table says "yes" should I, or should we not, interpret that as being compliant to the spec? 2. Is there a way, other than using borders on each cell, to get the borders for the column/row to work? Is there a shortcut way to just set all borders of table/rows/columns/cells to the same properties?

If (1) is answered with "yes", then I believe the above to be a bug in FOP 0.93. I know it is a work in progress, but if the answer is "no", it would perhaps save you, the programmers, and others some work, like answering questions like these, when you update the compliance table with accurate data (I volunteer to do a part of it).
