Re: [docbook-apps] PDF Table Row processing


FOP's implementation of the "keep" mechanism is incomplete
in its current version.  I tried putting keep-together properties on
both table-row and table-cells in the FO output, and they
had no effect with FOP.

The only property that worked was break-before="page" on the
fo:table-row element.  But you don't want that on every row, of course.
You could customize the template for table rows to look for a
processing instruction that you put in your row when you want to
force a manual break.  It's a very ugly solution, and a maintenance
headache if the file changes.
