Hi,

I'm really new to this XSL stuff and there's a lot of information out
there on the web, I just can't seem to find a definitive answer to my
question, hence......

In FO, I know that you define a block and use the keep-together
attribute to specify whether or not the block should be split over
multiple pages - unless the block itself is longer than a page.

However, if you allow the block to be split over two pages, is there a
mechanism to put some text at the top of the split piece of the block.


Specifically, say I have a table and the table gets split over two
pages half way down its body. So the top half of the table is at the
bottom of page 1 and the bottom half of the table is at the top of page
2.  Is there a mechanism in FO to reprint the table column headers at
the top of the chunk of table on page 2.

I read somewhere that this might be possible by writing another XSLT to
do some post processing, additionally, I've read that XSL is a fire and
forget kind of technology and you can't do this.  If you don't know
that this table splitting is going to happen until it's run through the
FO processor and once it's gone through the processor you've got (in
this case) a PDF file - how would you then insert the column headers in
again, by the time the table has been split, it's too late to easily
insert the column headers.

I'd like to ask the same question with regards to a table caption, in
order to achieve a table title at the top of the split chunk of table
on page 2. e.g.


[page 1]


This is a table
<table>
<row>1</row>
<row>2</row>
<row>3</row>
</table>

[Page break]
[page 2]
This is a table (continued)
<table>
<row>4</row>
<row>5</row>
<row>6</row>
</table>


I've spent quite a while hunting around for this definitive answer and
have been led into TeX and use of CSS /  XSL -> HTML to get a work
round to the desired results.  I'm hoping an XSL guru out there will be
able to save me any more pain on this.

Thanks,
Howard
