docbook-apps

Hi all,

I've upgraded our doc build process from 0.25 to 0.93. In PDF output with
0.25, a table could span multiple pages, with the table header appearing on
each page.

However, with 0.93, the table stops on one page; subsequent rows aren't
printed. Also, the bottom of the table is corrupted. Just two examples: the
table title appears in the middle of a row, and the table overwrites the
page footer.

The following image of the page illustrates better than I can describe:

I tried to build the doc using a dummy customisation layer (which simply
references the docbook-xsl-1.72.0 stylesheets). The dummy customisation
layer is here:

http://www.pasteserver.net/196

The output still has the corrupted table. The new FO excerpt including the
table is here:

http://www.pasteserver.net/197

This seems to indicate it's nothing to do with my customisation layer.
However, the following error messages in the FOP output may be of use:

[fop] WARNING: table-layout="fixed" and column-width unspecified => falling

Try

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Fixed this problem form me.
It seems like the default behaviour changed from fop 0.25 to fop 0.93

Thanks, Hinrich; that worked for me too. Useful tip. Would be nice to have
that added to the docbook-xsl stylesheets by default is possible. I'll
mention your solution on the fop-users mailing list as well.
