repeating column cell

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this foum so I wish to say hello to everyone ;)

Here is my problem:
I've got a table with 2 colums.
The first colum is a title (kind of header) and the second column contains a
lot of text of unknown size.
The text in the second coloumn can be so big that it can overlap several
pages.
I would like to have the title of the first column to repeat itself from
page to page
Example:
page 1:
------------------------
title1   | text 1      |
------------------------
title2   | begining of | 
         |  text 2     |
         |             |
------------------------

page 2:
------------------------
title2   | end of      |
         | text 2      |
------------------------
title3   | begining of | 
         | text 3      |
         |             |
------------------------

page 3:
------------------------
title3   |             |
         | middle of   | 
         | text 3      |
         |             |
------------------------

page 4:
------------------------
title3   | end of      |
         | text 3      |
------------------------
title4   | text 4      |
------------------------
etc..


How cab I do that?

thx to all ;)

Jack

The spec doesn't provide a construct for an easy solution
to your problem.
You can try to fake the effect by using an overlapping
region-before and a marker.
