Hi Dawn,

A solution to your problem suddenly came to my mind. In case this is
still of interest to you:

One way to deal with that is to specify a level of transparency on the
background colour of the rows, but to my knowledge XSL-FO doesn’t offer
this possibility. However, you can create an SVG image made of basically
one rectangle that has a transparent fill, as SVG gives you full
flexibility on that matter.

Then you just have to set this image as the background-image of the
table-row. You don’t have to worry about the dimensions of the image and
can set its size to the dimensions of the page, as fo:table-row will
clip it accordingly.
