Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Table seps with XSL-FO

If somebody had the same problem, I have found :
Just put the "frame" attribute to "all" in the "table" element.
Then rows / cols seps are ok in both HTML and PDF.
Although in the def. guide I understood the frame table att.  was intended
to the table border itself, not the entrys seps.

And another tip for tables in PDF with FOP 0.20.3 : "table-and-caption" and
"caption" elements in FO (comming from XML tables titles) are not supported
by FOP, so no tables can output in PDF.
So to correct this, in the ebnf.xsl and formal.xsl comment the
"table-and-caption" and "caption" elements, but not the "table" element
inside. Then enjoy nice tables in PDF. Enclosed are the corrected
stylesheets.
