Hello,

Class assignment, I get partway there, but borders do not show up. We have text files we turn into XML and css by inserting some prefixes and namespaces, etc. Each listing under an agent should be in its own box with a border. I just get long paragraphs after each agent. Please help. Thanks.

try adding this under the block.

border-bottom-width="1.0mm" border-bottom-color="black" border-bottom-style="solid">

so with a block it would look like

<fo:block  border-bottom-width="1.0mm" border-bottom-color="black" border-bottom-style="solid">
</fo:block>

If you want them all around instead of only at the bottom, just do this.

<fo:block 
border-width="1.0mm" border-color="black" border-style="solid">
</fo:block>

Thank you for the reply. But we should not have to do this. We are given the shell and are told pretty specifically what to add. That is why I get so frustrated. I finally got this to work by moving a line or two to a different position. Lines 182 and 183 to just after line 27.
