Re: [docbook-apps] striped table border colors
Hi Gregorio,

Borders within a table are set on table cells, not 
on rows.  I believe the reason for that must be cell spans, which can put 
the bottom of a cell in one row in the next row or several rows.

 

Customize the template 'table.cell.properties' from 
fo/table.xsl to set the custom borders.

Subject: [docbook-apps] striped table 
  border colors

  

Hello: 

I have 
  a particular style of table I am attempting to generate into PDF using the fo 
  stylesheets.  
  
Specifically I am getting custom striped rows, but I also need to 
  generate white rowsep/colsep or cell borders. I am trying to do this in my 
  custom layer, and here is a piece of the xsl:

  
 

  

  

  
<xsl:template name="table.row.properties">

  
  <xsl:variable name="tabstyle">

  
    <xsl:call-template name="tabstyle"/>

  
  </xsl:variable>

  
   <xsl:variable name="rownum">

  
    <xsl:number from="tgroup" count="row"/>

  
  </xsl:variable>

  
  <xsl:choose>

  
    <xsl:when test="$tabstyle = 'striped'">

  
      <xsl:if test="$rownum mod 2 = 0">

  
        <xsl:attribute 
  name="background-color">#939598</xsl:attribute>

  

  
        <!--attributes to change border 
  colors?-->

  
<xsl:attribute name="border-right">0.5pt 
  white</xsl:attribute>

  
        <xsl:attribute name="border-left">0.5pt 
  white</xsl:attribute>

  
      </xsl:if>

  
    <xsl:if test="$rownum mod 2 != 0">

  
      <xsl:attribute 
  name="background-color">#bcbec0</xsl:attribute>

  
<!--?attributes to change border 
  colors?-->  
    

  
    </xsl:if>

  
   </xsl:when>

  
 </xsl:choose>

  
</xsl:template>

  

  

  

  
Obviously this is not working, the portions following <!--attributes to change border 
  colors?--> are simply variations of my attempts to get some sort of 
  change to the table.cell.properties, 

  
however I could not find any sort of 
  combination to get the result I wish for, which would be white colored rules 
  between the cells of the table. 

  

  
Is this even possible? Any 
  suggestions?

  

  
Thank you for taking the time to read my questions.
