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

Hi Kevin,

So for renderX, there has to be content inside the table body for it to show on output. It still "feels" strange having tables show on the page until it gets to the page break mark, to where they start disappearing. Also, it would be good to have some sort of Error log information stating that the table would not show on output.

Thanks,
Hugo

If I simply open you FO in oXygen, you do realize there are dozens of errors.

I see this: <fo:table width="100%" border-collapse="collapse" id="d38e5658">

and 10 lines later I see this: <fo:table width="100%" border-collapse="collapse" id="d38e5658">

Those IDs are the same. Gee, another error ... you cannot have a singular XML document with IDs all the same ... 100s of them.

Step 1) Removed all IDs that are duplicate

Step 2) Removed invalid precedence=true/false on something you have that is not anything XSL SO

All you content formats in one page, what did you expect?

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.
