Hi,
It isn't necessary to customize the template with match="entry" to add the
keep-together properties, as there is a utility template named
"table.cell.properties" that can accomplish that. This is a template, not
an attribute-set, and is described in this section of my book:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#table.cell.properties
Just add this to the customized template:
<xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">always</xsl:attribute>

Hi,
I am using fop 0.95. I am using code similar to this example:
I've tried using this dbfo at different location as well (row, start of
table) and I don't see any difference: fop breaks the table in the middle
of a cell that straddles multiple rows.
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>
<para>foo</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>foo</para>
</entry>
<entry morerows="19">
<?dbfo keep-together="always"?>
<para></para>
</entry>
This processing instruction only applies to formal object (table,
example, figure, equation), not to other elements [1].

You will have to customize the template matching <entry> and add
a keep-together.within-column="always" to the produced fo:table-cell
element. As to how to do that...
What I am trying to do is to have a long (500 row) narrow, sorted table
be printed three columns per page. I want to use the straddled cell to
control page breaks:
page 1:
1 6 11
2 7 12
3 8 13
4 9 14
5 10 15
page 2:
16 21 26
17 22 27
18 23 28
19 24 29
20 25 30
page 3:
etc.
I’m not sure this is the best way to achieve that. The source DocBook
file should remain output-agnostic; by adding a row-spanning entry
element you’re somehow abusing its semantics.
A more proper way would be to customize the XSLT stylesheets so as to
put a keep-together.within-column plus keep-with-next.within-column on
every row, except every n-th row. Of course that requires some XSLT
knowledge.

Vincent
