Re: [docbook-apps] Keep a table from splitting across pages

["Mike Broschinsky" <mbroschi@utah.gov>]

I downloaded the latest snapshot, and generated a PDF using this chain of commands:

xsltproc --output manual.rulewriter.xml --stringparam profile.userlevel
"rulewriter" C:/xml/style/docbook-xsl-snapshot/profiling/profile.xsl
manual.dcbk

xsltproc --output manual.rulewriter.fo --stringparam xep.extensions 1
./style/manual-pdf.xsl manual.rulewriter.xml

C:\Programs\RenderX\XEP\xep.bat -fo manual.rulewriter.fo -pdf
manual.rulewriter.pdf

I tried this twice: once with the <?dbfo keep-together="always" ?> PI right after <informaltable> and once with it commented out.

Both times my table still split at the end of the page.

Sometimes I hate technology. :(

Did I overlook something?

The keep-together PI was not working for informaltables in 1.69.1, but it
is fixed in CVS.  You should try downloading the latest snapshot release:

I have an informaltable with one head row and three data rows, coded as the
example below:

  <informaltable>
    <tgroup cols="1">
      <thead>
<row>
  <entry>Examples:</entry>
</row>
      </thead>

      <tbody>
<row>
  <entry>
    <para>
                                       stuff...
     </para>
  </entry>
</row>

<row>
  <entry>
    <para>
      more stuff...
    </para>
  </entry>
</row>

<row>
  <entry>
    <para>
      even more stuff...
    </para>
  </entry>
</row>
      </tbody>
    </tgroup>
  </informaltable>

I *don't* want this table to split at a page end; I would rather have the
entire table carry over to the next page.
