Hi Carlos, If the patch doesn't make it into the code base, I'd be interested in a copy. Although I don't need it now, it's not unlikely I'll need it some day.

November 2009 10:18 An: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org Betreff: Re: omit first table header/last footer I implemented this extension. I added fox:table-omit-last-footer and fox:table-omit-first-header attributes to fo:table. It seems to work well in my use case. If anyone is interested I can submit a patch.
