Turning off table side borders

[Paul Moloney]

I've added the following to my customized layer (I realise it's overkill, but I'm not sure of the relationship between table.properties and table.table.properties, or if table.cell.properties overrides them or is overridden by them):

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.table.properties">        
       <xsl:attribute name="border-right-style">none</xsl:attribute>        
       <xsl:attribute name="border-right-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>        
       <xsl:attribute name="border-left-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>        
       <xsl:attribute name="border-left-style">none</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.cell.properties">        
       <xsl:attribute name="border-right-style">none</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-left-style">none</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-right-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-left-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">        
        <xsl:attribute name="border-right-style">none</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-left-style">none</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-right-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="border-left-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Overkill or not, in any case, in PDF output tables still has side borders. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks,

P.

Hi Paul,
The template named 'table.frame' is called after the table.table.properties
attribute-set is applied.  It processes the table @frame attribute to
choose the table border style, and CALS defaults to 'all'.  Since you are
setting your own borders, you could just make table.frame an empty template
in your customization to turn it off.

Thanks Bob; that worked for the border around the table. However, the left/right hand borders of the cells are still there (table now looks like a tic-tac-toe grid).

Is there another relevant template I need to override so that table.cell.properties is applied to each cell?

Regards,

P.

Hi Paul,
table.cell.properties is a template, not an attribute-set.  You need to
customize the template, which is in fo/table.xsl.  The colsep value is
inherited from the default for CALS table, so you need to override that.
