Hi all,
I'm using AntennaHouse XSL Formatter v2.5.
The problem is, tables rows are not placed on the next page when the table is too large for the page.
There is no error thrown, and the table is much larger than region-before + region-body + region-after (so the problem cannot be the page layout I think).
I tried,
<fo:table keep-together.within-page=
...
<fo:table-row keep-together="0" keep-with-previous="0" keep-with-next="0" break-before="page">
and related alternatives but there was never any effect.
Any ideas? - Thanks.

Sorry for coming back so late. The problem is still relevant, though.
- It's the fo:block-container elements which don't appear to be able to span multiple pages.
I seem to need them, though, as I need a margin at the left side of page. This margin may or may not contain fo:blocks (which may not reserve vertical space right to it - so I'm using fo:float). Thus, I can't use a table cell as a spacer.
Sample code I'm currently working with follows. It should be two pages but is one only, because of the fo:block-container I'm using. When you change fo:block-container to fo:block, the left margin disappears.
Thanks very much for looking into it.

can you post your xml and fo doc
you could try
<fo:table-row keep-together="always" >
or
<fo:table-row keep-with-next="always">
I had a simlar problem with the table overflow with my page, even in landscape orientation. If the pages were too wide left to right they wouldnt format correctly, although when they were too long they would follow the fo:page-sequence correctly.
the only way i could overcome this was to set the font size as a variable and count the number or rows in my table. If the table had 10 rows my fontsize would be 16pt and if the table was 15 rows, id use a fontsize of 14 etc.
its not the best solution but it works for me.
You could try the Helpdesk at Antenna House. They're very helpful and know their nuts!
