    It sounds like you're having trouble with PDF output. Is that correct?

    I'm surprised that your headings are not repeated after a page break. I
    think that is the default behavior. Table breaking across pages is
    described here:

    Do you have table customizations that might be affecting the way this works?

    Peter,
    Thanks for responding. Yes, the problem is with PDF. I was surprised, too. I thought that thead alone would take care of this and I have done no table customization.
    I’ll have a developer here take a look and see if he can diagnose the problem.
    Regards,
    Norma

    I’ve looked at attributes for table, thead and row and can’t find any attribute for this.
    I’ve also checked transform parameters and don’t see a parameter that I can set for this purpose.
    Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?

    Yes, thead should be enough. What tools are you using to process the
    document?

    Saxon will convert the DocBook XML to XSL-FO, but you must be using an
    XSL-FO processor such as FOP to generate the PDF.

    Bob,
    OK, it is working now. Pilot error -- I was editing the wrong table.
    Thanks for your help.
