Looking at the table (and caption) layout as it will work within the page layout.
The manager would need to locate possible breaks. There is an implicit keep between the caption and table if before or after. It can break between rows unless there is a keep between the rows or there is a cell spanning the rows and the cell has a keep together. It can break in the middle of a row if the contents of the cells can be broken and there is no keep together. The header and footer have implicit keeps with the body (and keep-together?). When finding a break inside a row it will need to find a break in each cell and match the break positions to find the best available. This sounds relatively easy, most of the work is the process of finding the best break poss while considering all the keeps. So the steps would be something like: - at the end of each row it is able to determine a break possibility before or inside the row - the table keeps locating breaks until page filled or page break encountered - areas are created and added for the table, columns (if required), rows (if required) and cells - table layout manager can then throw away fo tree elements of all completed rows next page...
