Hi Pascal,
I tried this option. but the vertical line is breaking and its not coming continuosly if blocks has span="none". I am using latest trunk build FOP jar to generate PDF file. XSL-FO config: <fo:simple-page-master master-name="only" page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in" margin-top="1in" margin-bottom="1in" margin-left="0.75in" margin-right="0.75in"> <fo:region-body margin-top="0.25in" margin-bottom="1in" column-count="2" column-gap="0.15in" background-position-horizontal="center" background-repeat="repeat-y" background-image='url("line1.svg")'/> <fo:region-before extent="1in"/> <fo:region-after extent="1in"/> </fo:simple-page-master> Line svg file code: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="100%" height="100%" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="100" style="stroke:rgb(99,99,99);stroke-width:2"/> </svg> Any help on this would be great helpful.
