[xep-support] border conditionality

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Chris,

Conditionality for borders is implemented and works fine, but
according to XSL-FO specification you have to specify it for each
component, not for shorthands. Moreover, according to the spec you
must use relative components (which are evaluated with respect to
current writing-mode). Therefore the following properties are valid
and will work: 
  border-before-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-after-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-start-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-end-width.conditionality="retain"

but these are incorrect:
  border-width.conditionality="retain"
  border.conditionality="retain"
  border-top-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-bottom-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-left-width.conditionality="retain"
  border-right-width.conditionality="retain"

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

CB> Hi,

CB> I'm using XEP 3.7.8 and trying to keep borders consistent on a table which 
CB> splits on a page-break. By Consistent, I mean we only specify certain borders 
CB> on each cell to avoid overlap (as collapse is not implemented), thus when a 
CB> table splits across a page the bottom border of the last cells and top border 
CB> of the first cells on new page are not present.

CB> I recently saw a message on this list regarding 
CB> border.conditionality="retain", which I though could be used to solve the 
CB> problem. However, when running XEP on some FO that uses border.conditionality 
CB> I receive the following message:

CB> Attribute border.conditionality cannot occur at element fo:table

CB> I also tried specifying this for the components of the border property, e.g. 
CB> border-left-width.conditionality="retain", with the same result.

CB> Is conditionality implemented on borders, and if not, then is there any way to 
CB> keep borders consistent when a table is split across a page?

CB> Thanks,

CB> Chris
