RE: [docbook] Breaking tables across pages, repeating header row

["Emery, Norma (HGR)" <nemery@whitehangar.net>]

Peter,

Thanks for responding. Yes, the problem is with PDF. I was surprised, too. I thought that thead alone would take care of this and I have done no table customization.

I’ll have a developer here take a look and see if he can diagnose the problem.

Regards,

Norma

It sounds like you're having trouble with PDF output. Is that correct?

I'm surprised that your headings are not repeated after a page break. I think that is the default behavior. Table breaking across pages is described here:

Do you have table customizations that might be affecting the way this works?

I’m trying to get my table headings to repeat when the table breaks across pages.

I’ve looked at attributes for table, thead and row and can’t find any attribute for this.

I’ve also checked transform parameters and don’t see a parameter that I can set for this purpose.

Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
