Thanks Peter for the pointer to the multipage table in the wiki. I don't know
how I overlooked that example. However, I was still able to duplicate the
problem with this sample table by including a page full of text before the
table (see below).
If the dorecurse is set to 62 or 63, the contents slightly overflow the first
page text area and only the first row of the table is rendered on the second
page. If dorecurse on blah is performed 61 or 64 times, the table is rendered
properly.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Mike
