Hi,
I am struggling to implement the frame/colsep/rowsep control of HTML
tables in a DocBook like vocabulary in CSS.
The issue I have is that when colsep or rowsep are set to one, I need to
be able to override the values of the row or cell border control on the
edges depending of the value of the "frame" attribute.
In other words, I need to be able to reverse the usual CSS inheritance
mechanism for tables.
If I have understood the spec correctly, the border style "hidden" is
what CSS has imagined for this type of situations, unfortunately, this
value isn't supported by XXE.
For simple cases (ie when colspan and rowspan are equal to one for each
cell in the table) I have found a workaround playing with transparent
border colors, but that doesn't work in the general case when rowspan or
colspan aren't always equal to one.
Do you see any way to implement that in CSS without "style: hidden" (as
far as I understood, XXE supports that feature for DocBook through
Java)?
Or is there any hope to get "style: hidden" implemented in a near
future?
Thanks,
Eric
