    Hello Alexander,

    1)The problem is the disappearance of the table header lines (above and
    below the table header).
    I was told that the option compatible mode might restore this. In the XEP
    documentation (XEP 3.4 user guide) 3 ways are mentioned to control the XEP
    options- one of them: "As a record in the configuration file (its location
    is set by CONFIG option)." Further down, the XEP2_COMPATIBLE_MODE option is
    explained, which I tried.

    2)I am not sure if border-collapse can do the job. I tried this (with no
    effect) on the table level. What I need (on every table header) is a topline
    and bottom line that separates the table header from the rest of the table.
    I wish to do this in the stylesheet to prevent having to add row separators
    in the XML instances. How can I do this with the XEP engine? When I add a
    background colour to the table-header properties, this is displayed
    properly, but not the lines. How come?

    Thanks & regards,
    Els

    Hello Els,

    EvT> Dear RenderX. I have 2 questions:

    EvT> 1) When using a particular installation of XEP, this can be set in the
    main
    EvT> XEP configuration file (Default: ~/etc/xep.xml), e.g.:
    EvT> <option name="XEP2_COMPATIBLE_MODE" value="true"/>
    EvT> Is this also possible for update versions, such as 322? How? I've tried
    322
    EvT> and 3.22 but this is not allowed.

    Could you please describe a problem with versions deferences in more
    details? There is no option 'XEP322_COMPATIBLE_MODE', but there is
    a 'PAGEWIDE_FOOTNOTE' parameter in case discrepancies caused by footnotes
    behavior. I need additional information about your problem to suggest
    something useful.

    EvT> 2) Previous version of XEP (I believe 2.78) showed top and bottom lines
    of
    EvT> table-header; this is the relevant bit of the stylesheet for it:
    EvT> <fo:table-header
    EvT> border-top-width="0.4pt"
    EvT> border-top-style="solid"
    EvT> padding-top="3pt"
    EvT> border-bottom-width="0.4pt"
    EvT> border-bottom-style="solid"
    EvT> padding-bottom="4pt">
    EvT> I do not see any lines with the current version I am using; is the fo
    EvT> incorrect or is this a XEP bug? (The Antenna House formatter does show
    the
    EvT> lines.)

    Border on fo:table-header makes sense only then table created with
    border-collapse='collapse', but XEP implements border-collapse='separate'
    mode only. Difference between XEP 2.78 and XEP 3.5 appears only
    because new XEP version follows XSL FO specification more strictly.
