Re: [docbook-apps] Table and Border Columns do not Appear

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Ray,

It works for me.  I pasted your tables into a chapter, added the entity declaration to the DOCTYPE, and processed the file with Saxon 6.5.3, the 1.69.1 fo/docbook.xsl, and the table parameters that you posted earlier.   Then I processed the result with XEP 4.4, and I get the borders in the PDF output on the first table as you describe them.  Are you testing with the stock stylesheet, or with a customization layer?  Have you tried it outside of Oxygen?

A horizontal border should appear over the top, bottom and inside columns (no “end caps”) of the first table:

Works for html/docbook.xsl and chunk.xsl but not fo/docbook.xsl (fop xep-4.4).
