Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Problems with large tables spanning multiple pages
Hi, Starting with version 1.64.1 of the stylesheets, a 'table.properties' attribute-set was added to fo/param.xsl. By default, it uses the attributes in the 'formal.object.properties' attribute set, which includes keep-together.within-column="always". Note that informaltables don't use that attribute-set. If you upgrade your stylesheets, you can turn that off for tables with this addition to your customization file: <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> The problem is that it will apply to all tables, even short ones. There isn't a processing instruction to control it for individual tables, although that would make a nice feature request (see the DocBook SourceForge project tracker page for adding a feature request).
