Re: [docbook-apps] tables aren't breaking onto the next page

As near as I can tell this seems to be a problem with FOP.  I have seen tables go off the top of pages, off the bottom, and overwrite paragraphs that follow.  I think there are bugs in allocating space for a formatted table.

Subject: [docbook-apps] tables aren't breaking onto the next page

When I output to PDF, long tables aren’t breaking onto the next page, but are running below the page margin. I’ve tried changing the keep together properties like this.

 

<xsl:template name="table.properties">

 

      <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>

      <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-page">auto</xsl:attribute>

       

</xsl:template>

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="informaltable.properties"

                   xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.properties"/>

 

But that doesn’t work. How can I get long tables to break onto the next page?

 

I’m using DocBook XSL 1.72 and FOP 0.93.
