[xep-support] Re: Tables with only <fo:table-header> are not rendered close to end of page

[Kevin Brown]

If you create an XSL that creates empty <fo:table> or empty <fo:table-body>
or even going forward empty <fo:table-row> or empty <fo:table-cell>
elements, then you have created bad XSL.
Your XSL should be pre-checking for these conditions and operating on them.

RenderX tries it's best to "guess" at bogus content and attempt to
understand what you thought you meant by it.
It is not always correct as one person's desires are not the others.

Thank you for your email. I've checked the spec, and yes, you are right in
saying that the table is not correct without a table-body element. 
I would assume that XEP would treat all tables the same then, meaning none
of the tables should display as none of them are conformant?

I have also tested with the following ( valid FO according to spec):  

<fo:table-body><fo:table-row><fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell></fo:
table-row></fo:table-body>

And still achieve the same unwanted result: Only the tables on the first
page appear, and the tables that are supposed to show up in the second page
do not show. I have added the file for reference.

A <table> without a <table-body> is an error, so the fact that anything is
or is not displayed is irrelevant ... you should be using valid XSL-FO.

I hope this is helpful.
