I found the solution, I don't know how it is:

I make a table for every row element, then nested rowsets go into the nested
table within the same cell. It does the job.

sorry, it works in my Cocoon 2.0.2. but strangely, it didn't work with the
command-line tool in my fop0.20.3 installation.

thanx

I put every row in a . Inside the block I may have blocks for row
content, tables for nested rowsets, etc.
That works fine, but I've a requirement: if the row takes more than one
page, then I've to show it's title in the page header.
a) What's the best approach to achieve it?
There is certainly no "best" approach.
As already noted, you can put the content of each row
element into a table and make the row title a table header.
Another approach is to put the title in a fo:marker and
use a fo:retrieve-marker in the static page header content.
Unfortunately, this is not fully implemented in FOP, so
you have to experiment whether it works for you.

The whole report? Hardly. Only the s.

Complicated layouts can be done with a blind table

Try something like this:
 
   
   
   
   
 
   
 Run Date:2002/03/29
   
   
 Some Report Name
   
   
 Time:hh:mm:ss
   
  
   
 
Adjust the column widths to fit your page. Have also a look at
the possibility to define proportional column widths, the following
will produce three columns of equal width. Note that you have
to set the total width for the table.
