Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: Problem with table that spans multiple pages
This is what I got from RenderX: --- Exactly what I suspected. table-and-caption are kept-together. The parser first tries to keep the whole table together, it does not fit in a page, then to recover it stops processing of keep and breaks. Therefore the table looks ugly and the headers are broken not where they should. Besides that, by default border-before-width has conditionality="discard" thus no intermediate table borders, and your cells don't have border-before (top), only border-bottom and border-right. Specify border-top on the header -- you'll get the proper frames. --- Does this mean this is a problem with Docbook XSL? Any ideas on how I should proceed? Thanks, Simon.

I think this is a arguably a RenderX formatting problem. The table title specifies a "keep" with the table body, but the table is longer than a page so the formatter seems to think it's better to break between the table and the title than it is to break in the middle of the table. | - The bottom of the table isn't properly formatted (lines are sticking out). | - The header of the table is missing a line on the top. These are formatting choices (or bugs :-) made by the folks at RenderX, you'll have to ask them. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The stone fell on the pitcher?
