[xep-support] Keep-together precedence

[Anders Svensson]

Hello,
 
Before the summer I asked the question below regarding keep-together
restraints, and got the answer below that xep doesn't support
precedences. So does that mean there is no way to solve conflicts
between elements? (see my needs below)
 
As it is I'm getting bad page breaks where either a table cell will be
broken right in the middle (if the keep-together is set on "sections",
and this looks truly awful), or a "section" of text (which we want to
keep together in general) will haphazardly be broken up all over the
document (if the keep-together is set on table-cells instead). This
doesn't look as immediately awful as the first one, but is on the whole
just as bad because it is all over the place.
 
Regards,
 
Anders

According to the specification, you can use whatever integer values you 
want. Any integer value has a lower precedence than 'always'. However,
XEP 
doesn't support these precedences yet. It interprets all integer values
as 
'always'.
