Re: [docbook-apps] vertical line between margin and text

You can add a border property to the body region to draw the vertical line. 
You will need to create and use a custom page-master.  For more info on 
that, see:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html

This snippet shows how to add border properties to region-body:

    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-body-odd"
                           page-width="{$page.width}"
                           page-height="{$page.height}"
                           margin-top="{$page.margin.top}"
                           margin-bottom="{$page.margin.bottom}"
                           margin-left="{$margin.left.inner}"
                           margin-right="{$page.margin.outer}">
      <fo:region-body margin-bottom="{$body.margin.bottom}"
                      margin-top="{$body.margin.top}"
                      column-gap="{$column.gap.body}"
                      column-count="{$column.count.body}"
                      border-start-color="black"
                      border-start-width="0.5pt"
                      border-start-style="solid">
      </fo:region-body>
