Now that you have found it in the fo file, you might try figuring out where it is coming from in the XSL templates so you don't have to fix up the FO file each time. You can sometimes tell from the other attributes with it, and then look for an attribute-set that has those.

ic....Aaargh!

Another problem I saw was, when the table does neatly break across, the heading row does not repeat. In addition, the first row in the new page does not have the top-border - looks like its cut off!

Any solutions for this?

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!

FYI - I have seen this behaviour also (where a table that is broken
across pages loses its headers and the rule at the top of the new
page). I hadn't gotten around to trying to narrow it down to something
I'm doing or not.

Johnson,

Do you still have the problem despite Jirka's suggestion as well? Do you by any chance have XEP, where you could try what Jirka is mentioning?

Let me know,
Thank you,
Dishaa

Do you have thead element in your DocBook table? Only table header is
repeated on the new page.

It's default FO behaviour, you can change it by using the following code
in your customization layer:

<xsl:attribute-set name="table.table.properties">
<xsl:attribute
name="border-before-width.conditionality">retain</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Jirka,

Adding the thead element did work! Thanks for pointing out that fundamental rule. The table heading is repeating across pages.

But it still appears without a top-border. It still appears cut off!
Here;s a small excerpt from the stylesheet:

fo:block space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.maximum="1.2em"><fo:block id="id2884219" space-before.minimum="4pt" space-before.optimum="8pt" space-before.maximum="12pt" space-after.minimum="6pt" space-after.optimum="12pt" space-after.maximum="18pt" keep-together.within-column="auto"><fo:block font-size="10pt" font-family="Helvetica" space-before.minimum="0em" space-before.optimum="0em" space-before.maximum="0em" space-after.minimum="0em" space-after.optimum="0em" space-after.maximum="0em" keep-together.within-column="auto" text-align="left" keep-together.within-page="auto" font-weight="bold" hyphenate="false" keep-with-next.within-column="auto">Table B.17. Attribute - Ctry Code</fo:block><fo:table border-before-width.conditionality="retain" border-collapse="collapse" border-left-style="solid" border-right-style="solid" border-top-style="solid" border-bottom-style="solid" border-left-width="0.5pt" border-right-width="0.5pt"
border-top-width="0.5pt" border-bottom-width="0.5pt" border-left-color="#7CC2E9" border-right-color="#7CC2E9" border-top-color="#7CC2E9" border-bottom-color="#7CC2E9" table-layout="fixed" width="100%"><fo:table-column column-number="1"/>

Let me know if you need a little more context wrt to the fo file.

Thanks,
Dishaa

Give it a try in XEP to see whether problem is in your FO file or in FOP
implementation. It should work unless I have missed something.
