Bob,

You are absolutely right! This was what was happening. I went to my fo file and 
changed it to auto. It works. Thank you Bob...once again!

But this sure is a pesky workaround, esp since the fo file is big and its 
rather slow in scrolling. But what a small matter compared to the universe! 
I'll survive!

Regards,
Dishaa

keep-together.within-column="always" property on the table or a block 
containing  the table, and FOP 0.93 doesn't always handle those properly.  You 
might  take a peek inside your fo file to see if such a property is there.  Its 
 position might give you a clue as to where it is being added.

   Subject: [docbook-apps] Table not    breaking across page
   

Dear Users,

I am having an issue with a large table that    I need to create. The table has 
about 89 odd rows and though I am able to    create it with no issues, when I 
look at the PDF output, the result looks bad.    It looks to me like the table 
is trying to fit on the same page and as a    result rows are all getting 
printed on top of each other.

As mentioned    in Bob's book, I have even tried making the table flow to the 
next page by    using DBFO Kep-together ="auto" as shown below. But in this 
case, it is    somehow not taking it:

...<para>This section lists different    attributes and the values for those 
attributes along with    description.</para>
  <para><table    frame="all">
      <title>Attribute - Tax    Group</title>
<?dbfo keep-together="auto"    ?>      
<tgroup cols="2"    id="one">
...

Kindly assist me by pointing me in the right    direction to make long tables 
break across pages without any    issues.

Additional info: I am using 1.72.0 ver of Docbook XSL, Fop0.93    and Sytenxt 
Serna.

Thanks in advance,
Dishaa
