    Hi Ron,
    There is a dbhtml processing instruction for row-height, but not one for
    dbfo. 8^(
    It seems like a good idea if it is available for HTML output.

    If you want to customize it yourself, compare the match="row" template in
    table.xsl for both html and fo, and adapt the dbhtml row-height code for a
    dbfo row-height processing instruction. You want to add a "height"
    property to the fo:table-row output, and it needs to have units.

    Hi Bob

    Many thanks. I've tried to implement the FO version (dbfo) but I'm
    doing something wrong. Here is my version from my customization:

    <xsl:template match="row">
    <xsl:param name="spans"/>
    <xsl:variable name="row-height">
    <xsl:if test="processing-instruction('dbfo')">
    <xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
    <xsl:with-param name="pis" select="processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="'row-height'"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="bgcolor">
    etc. etc. no change
    </xsl:template>

    I suspect I don't understand 'You want to add a "height" property to
    the fo:table-row output, and it needs to have units'

    Also, on testing the HTML version I find that there is a minimum row
    height of about 20 pixels, even with an empty row. Some code below
    to demonstrate with 50, 30 and 10 px row heights. I'm trying to
    narrow up my empty separator rows to less than 20 px.
