Keeping tables together with FOP 0.92b

[ck...@onebox.com]

I' recently back to working with FOP. I have a document that consists of a number of tables with widely-varying numbers of rows. Sometimes several tables will fit entirely onto a single page, with others will span several pages. The problem I'm having involves those cases where a table almost fits onto a page, but one or two rows flow over onto the next page. I'd like to start a new page if the table won't fit onto the current one.

I've tried some keep-with-previous tacks, but when a very long table won't fit onto a single page FOP errors out.

Does anyone have a sure-fire method for causing a table to start on a new page if all the rows won't fit on the current page?

Thanks.

Hi

I'm not an experienced user, but have you tried "keep-with-next"? It did work
for me, although with other undesired side-effects (see my post with the
superlong title "keep-with-next causes last row of previous table to come along".

regards

The XSL-FO style approach would be not to use "always" for the keep
property but an integer number. But this hasn't been implemented, yet.
