I'm trying to generate a table where each cell has full borders. This works OK until
I try generate a header cell spanning two rows with <entry morerows="1">, in which case
no border seems to be generated at the bottom of the cell. The cell borders are being
defined by setting table.frame.border.thickness and table.cell.border.thickness each
to 2px in the stylesheet customization, and default.table.frame to "all". Liberal
use of rowsep="1" in the table <entry> elements seems to make no difference. Am I
missing something here or is there possibly a bug in the stylesheets?

Interestingly a body cell with morerows=1 does generate the bottom border, this
only seems to happen for head cells.

This is using XSL-NS 1.78.1 and generating output index.xhtml via

xsltproc --noout --nonet --xinclude test.xsl test.xml

Minimal case attached including rendered results.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
It is indeed a bug in the stylesheet. The rowsep is supposed to be
ignored for the last row in a table because the table border generates
that bottom border. The logic has to take into account @morerows when
determining the last row. But it did not do that correctly when the row
was in thead. I'll see if I can figure out how to fix it and let you know.

Hi Jon,
I checked in a fix for this bug and the latest stylesheet snapshot has
the fixed version:

http://snapshots.docbook.org/

The template that changed was in table.xsl, starting with:

<xsl:template match="d:entry|d:entrytbl" name="entry">
