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