NEW: spanning table rows

[Karen Lease <kl...@club-internet.fr>]

Hello all,

I (finally!) have added spanning table row functionality. There are a
few things to notice:

1. If all cells in a row have rowspan > 1 or are covered by a span from
a previous row, it doesn't work right because it doesn't calculate a
height for the row.

2. FOP currently will never break a set of rows "linked" by spans. This
will be a problem (infinite pages...) if you span more rows than will
fit on a page.

There are probably other issues, but it sounds like this missing feature
was blocking lots of folks.

I will add some test files shortly.

PS: I got rid of the "space-before/space-after" props on table-row. We
agreed some time ago that these aren't in the CR and so now they are no
longer in FOP.

Regards,
Karen Lease

Thanks, I was waiting for this. But I have some bit complex example, 
which doesn't render as expected. Attached are FO sorce, FOPs result 
and XEPs result, which is the intended and expected thing. Some other 
comments are inserted directly into your message.

Here I would add that this happens with emty cells as well. But this is 
not a bug, this just behavior that is not expected (I met similar 
behavior in both XEP and Antenna) Generally this can be solved using 
height attribute on fo:table-row, but this doesn't work with FOP.
