All the tables in my documents are <informaltable>, so the problem went
away when I did the following:
1. Commented out the following. Not sure why it doesn't work.
<!-- This doesn't work with DocBook 1.72 and FOP 0.93, so
informaltable.properties are defined below -->
<!--<xsl:attribute-set name="informaltable.properties" -->
<!-- xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.properties"/>-->
2. Added the following to specify attributes for
informaltable.properties.
<xsl:template name="informaltable.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">4pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">8pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">12pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">6pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">12pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">18pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="keep-together.within-column">always</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="keep-together.within-page">always</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
Now the tables break correctly onto the next page.

Subject: [docbook-apps] tables aren't breaking onto the next page
When I output to PDF, long tables aren't breaking onto the next page,
but are running below the page margin. I've tried changing the keep
together properties like this.
<xsl:template name="table.properties">
<xsl:attribute
name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="keep-together.within-page">auto</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:attribute-set name="informaltable.properties"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.properties"/>
But that doesn't work. How can I get long tables to break onto the next
page?
I'm using DocBook XSL 1.72 and FOP 0.93.
Regards,
Jeff
