Hello Andi,
There was a similar question some time ago on the XSL FO list at
yahoogroups.com: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XSL-FO/message/4732
There was a more complicated requirement: to draw a bar only till the
end of the actual column content. Let me recite my answer:
You can draw a rule in SVG and place it into the background of the
body-region (block with span="all" in this case should have
background-color="white"). The only shortcoming of this approach is
that this rule will be drawn through all the page even if columns are
shorter.
There is another solution which gives you desired result although it's
a kind of hack:
- wrap whole text in a fo:block with left/right borders as thick as
required rule and left/right padding with the size equal to
(column-gap width minus rule width) divided by two.
This way you have desired rule between columns and undesired
border on either sides.
- add symmetrical region-start/region-end which have extents as
wide as region-body margin minus padding of fo:block (calculated
above). Place in appropriate static contents fo:block-container
with height="100%" and background-color="white" (it should have
some non-empty content, i.e. block with empty leader inside).
These containers will be drawn atop of the side borders and will
hide them.
Please find a sample demonstrating both approaches attached.
Best regards,
