Post subject:  Double Border On Table

Hi,
What is the best way to create a "double border" on a table. I have seen some old posts here (from 2006) saying it wasnt YET supported, but hoping it is now. However, looking at the options in the EDGE and BORDERSTYLE classes, I am not seeing anything. So then I was thinking that I could just create a slightly larger "outer" table, add a single column/row/cell to that and then set a single border there, then add my "main" table that has a single border to the CELL in the "outer" table, but is that really the best way? I found the below post, which seems to indicate that this solution really wont work well due to Cells not page breaking within a cell.

Has this "double border" for a table been accomplished by anyone?

P.S. By "double border" I just mean two parallel single border lines, with a small space/gap between them.

As an update, I was able to get a "double border" by nesting my main table within a cell in an outer table and tweaking padding and width a bit, but as the link provided above indicates, the problem is that when my inner table is longer than will fit on the remaining page space, it breaks to a new page regardless of how much space there is still available on the current page. Apparently it doesnt want to "split" the cell to the next page. I have tried setting the KeepTogether properties on both the outer and inner tables, but the cell functionality seems to take precedence.

Any ways around this or am I just taking the wrong approach completely?

Thanks
