Hi Ron,
There is a dbhtml processing instruction for row-height, but not one for
dbfo. 8^(
It seems like a good idea if it is available for HTML output.
If you want to customize it yourself, compare the match="row" template in
table.xsl for both html and fo, and adapt the dbhtml row-height code for a
dbfo row-height processing instruction. You want to add a "height"
property to the fo:table-row output, and it needs to have units.
