Add Paragraph Rule below Text

[dbarbee]

Is there any way to add a "Paragraph Rule" below text like InDesign/Quark does? It needs to be a different color and a thicker point size than an underline.

You can make a table containing one cell with a border on the top.

Thanks Dan! I did not know of FusionPro's ability to create tables!

 

I see examples in the documentation using static, "Formatted Text" Resources. What's the easiest way to create tables with variables? Do you have a sample document available somewhere?

The Frodo Travel tutorial has some examples of tables. But all you need to do is this:

var table = new FPTable;
table.AddColumns(10000); // set width here
table.AddRow();
table.Rows[0].Cells[0].SetBorders("Thick", "Black", "Top");
return table.MakeTags();

Thanks Dan,

 

This has been invaluable. I did find a previous post of yours on tables:

 

Is there any way of manually adjusting the cell/table height? I have multiple lines of text, and need a rule below the top most line. I have already adjusted the margins to 0. I am currently not putting the content within the table, which I only require for the underline.

 

In other words, the rest of the text should not wrap around the table.
