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?

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.

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
