Hi,

The Cals table example worked for me when 
frame="topbot". 

This is the example I'm trying. I see a table with rules for all rows and column. There is none on left and right side though.
I thought I would see rules on the top and bottom only.

<article xmlns='http://docbook.org/ns/docbook'>
<title>Example table</title>

<table frame='topbot'>
<title>Sample CALS Table</title>

<tgroup cols='4'>
<thead>
<row>
  <entry>Horizontal Span</entry>
  <entry>a3</entry>
  <entry>a4</entry>
  <entry>a5</entry>

</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
  <entry>f2</entry>
  <entry>f3</entry>
  <entry>f4</entry>
  <entry>f5</entry>
</row>

<row>
  <entry>b2</entry>
  <entry>b3</entry>
  <entry>b4</entry>
  <entry>Vertical Span</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>

</article>

 

For tables using HTML markup, the frame="hsides" 
should work, but it currently is not implemented in the stylesheet.  You 
could bug report that one.

  table examples

  

Hello,

I'm testing docbook5 table examples for PDF with 
  frame="topbot" and it doesn't seem to work. I'm using xslt, 
  docbook5-xsl-1.72.0, fop 0.93 and docbook 5.0.

The examples are,

I see the table with 
  frame on all sides and rows.

Any ideas? Are there better open source 
  tools for PDF processing other than 
FOP?

TIA,
