Re: [docbook-apps] Table not breaking across page
Bob,

You are absolutely right! This was what was happening. I went to my fo file and changed it to auto. It works. Thank you Bob...once again!

But this sure is a pesky workaround, esp since the fo file is big and its rather slow in scrolling. But what a small matter compared to the universe! I'll survive!

Regards,
Dishaa

It sounds like there is still a  keep-together.within-column="always" property on the table or a block containing  the table, and FOP 0.93 doesn't always handle those properly.  You might  take a peek inside your fo file to see if such a property is there.  Its  position
 might give you a clue as to where it is being added.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Table not    breaking across page
   

Dear Users,

I am having an issue with a large table that    I need to
 create. The table has about 89 odd rows and though I am able to    create it with no issues, when I look at the PDF output, the result looks bad.    It looks to me like the table is trying to fit on the same page and as a    result rows are all getting printed on top of each other.

As mentioned    in Bob's book, I have even tried making the table flow to the next page by    using DBFO Kep-together ="auto" as shown below. But in this case, it is    somehow not taking it:

...<para>This section lists different    attributes and the values for those attributes along with    description.</para>
  <para><table    frame="all">
      <title>Attribute - Tax    Group</title>
<?dbfo keep-together="auto"    ?>      
<tgroup cols="2"    id="one">
...

Kindly assist me by pointing me in the right    direction to make long tables break across pages
 without any    issues.

Additional info: I am using 1.72.0 ver of Docbook XSL, Fop0.93    and Sytenxt Serna.

Thanks in advance,
Dishaa
