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

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

OK, I checked this out, and it seems that FOP 0.95 knows how to keep an 
ordinary table cell together, but it does not know how to keep a cell 
together if it spans down to additional rows.  That should probably be 
reported as a bug on FOP, because it should work for spanned cells too.
