keep-with property in fo:table-row element problem

[Rodolphe VAGNER <ro...@eurodoc-sofilog.com>]

Hy,

I have to generate a table with several sets of 5 lines. Those 5 lines must
be kept together. So I 've tried to use

.
.
<fo:table-row  keep-with-next.within-page="always"
                  keep-together="always">
<!--cells-->
</fo:table-row>

<!-- 3 times :-->
<fo:table-row  keep-with-next.within-page="always"
                    keep-with-previous.within-page="always"
                    keep-together="always">
<!--cells-->
</fo:table-row>

<!-- and -->
<fo:table-row  keep-with-previous.within-page="always"
                  keep-together="always">
<!--cells-->
</fo:table-row>
.
.

But lines are not kept together.
Where is my error please ?

thanks

That's probably bad, the code is quick in disabling
the keeps. Try to remove a few of the keep-with-*
and look what happens.

Because 0.20.4rc has a few small but annoying bugs and there
shouldn't be any user visible changes, it is recommended to use
0.20.4 in any case.
I'm not aware of any changes in the table layout code between
these two releases though.

My table is larger than a page body, but the groups of 5 lines
that i want to keep together is smaller : about 10 groups can fit in a page
body.

Do you know if I have a chance that this problem disappears if
I try the 0.20.4 version instead of the 0.20.4rc ?

This is hard to say. If the whole table including
preceding and trailing space is larger than the
page body, keeps are completely disabled. For a
more thourough analysis, a small but complete
self containing sample is necessary.
