Hello,

How do you put borders or lines between multiple
columns?

You can use static content in the region-before or region-after to create the rules. A table would probably be the most interchangable markup to use. Not quite as nice as just specifying rules as part of the region-body declaration or something, but it will work.

This solution only works if you are not interrupting the flow with non-empty blocks that span the columns unless you make sure those blocks somehow obscure the rules of the table in the static content (e.g., by setting a background color or something). This may also require jigging the z-index, which not all implementations support. Trial and error may be required.


Cheers,

E.
