Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose

I do not know the proprietary tools. What can I say to you that will convice you? The power of standards and open-source. Standards allows interoperability. You do not need to buy the specs of any closed-source format in order to make a bridge to (let's say) PDF or RTF :-) Force of the

Table inside a cell.

I have a table with two cells per row. The first cell is for text (rather big), and the second row is for a table. This table has three columns, each with both borders black and solid. But this table is small and the end of the table corresponds to (something like) the half of the text. My

Drawing a line at bottom of a table-row

I have a 3 cells in a row in a table. I wish to draw a line at the bottom of the row. I tried table-row border-bottom=1pt solid black but it didn't work. Is it a FO normal behaviour? If i i use fo:table-cell border-bottom=1pt solid black, it is okay. But if one of my cell is empty, the bottom-line
