Dotted rectangles in PDF docs

Unread post by steveaust »

Dear users,
I can insert a rectangle box into a Topic with Table activity & use a 1 cell table.
All good.

But how can I do dotted tables? (See screenshot attachment)
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

There isn't currently a line style available internally for table borders. In HTML output formats you can manage that by assigning a table class with a table style and then adding your own CSS for it to your export skin. That doesn't work for PDF, however. I'm adding this request to the Wish List -- surprisingly, it hasn't come up yet in all the past years. :)
