Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] PDF Table Row processing
FOP's implementation of the "keep" mechanism is incomplete in its current version. I tried putting keep-together properties on both table-row and table-cells in the FO output, and they had no effect with FOP. The only property that worked was break-before="page" on the fo:table-row element. But you don't want that on every row, of course. You could customize the template for table rows to look for a processing instruction that you put in your row when you want to force a manual break. It's a very ugly solution, and a maintenance headache if the file changes.
