Thank you for your suggestion but : >>bla bla bla bla <fo:block border="0.5pt solid black"> >>blaWithBorders<fo:block>bla bla bla
does not draw the text which is located outside the block element, if the whole thing is not nested inside another block element. And if i do nest the whole thing inside another block element, the text located inside the nested block element takes a whole line so there are three lines total. Your second suggestion does not display a border at all. The inline element does not seem to implement border attributes. I really can't figure how to draw a border around a word that is placed in a sentence? I think there must be a way to do so cause it must be pretty common to draw borders and the fop developpers must have taken that into account. please someone help me ;) Franck Rodolphe VAGNER a écrit : > You should try attribute 'border' in a fo:block : > > bla bla bla bla <fo:block border="0.5pt solid black"> > blaWithBorders<fo:block>bla bla bla > > Maybe a <fo:inline> instead of the fo:block would be better > bla bla bla bla <fo:inline border-left-width="thin" > border-top-width="thin"... > border-left-style="solid"..... > blaWithBorders </fo:inline>bla bla bla > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "MARTIN Franck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 11:10 AM > Subject: Drawing a border around a simple word > > > Hi all > > > > Does anyone know how to draw a border around a word placed in a > > sentence? > > > > I would appreciate any suggestion very much ;) > > > > Franck > >
