Re: [docbook-apps] table vertical spans and page breaks

[Marcel Tromp <marcel_docbook@tromp.org>]

Hi,

I am using fop 0.95. I am using code similar to this example:

I've tried using this dbfo at different location as well (row, start of 
table) and I don't see any difference: fop breaks the table in the 
middle of a cell that straddles multiple rows.

       <tbody>
         <row>
           <entry>
             <para>foo</para>
           </entry>
           <entry>
             <para>foo</para>
           </entry>
           <entry morerows="19">
             <?dbfo keep-together="always"?>
             <para></para>
           </entry>

What I am trying to do is to have a long (500 row) narrow, sorted table 
be printed three columns per page. I want to use the straddled cell to 
control page breaks:

page 1:
1 6 11
2 7 12
3 8 13
4 9 14
5 10 15

page 2:
16 21 26
17 22 27
18 23 28
19 24 29
20 25 30

page 3:
etc.
