Sorry for slow reply, but yes table markers do work and no need for the
workarounds you found; they have been superceded
The reason for a partial implementation status is that they can only
handle a single line of text. Showing (continued) or sub totals will
work perfectly. What you can't do with table markers is place an image,
a sub table, or a paragraph of text in them
Thanks,
Chris

Greetings,
I’ve spent a couple hours in the mail archives trying to determine the
current state of the implementation of retrieve-table-marker. The
compliance table states that this is still just partially implemented,
and I’d like to understand what works and does not work in FOP 2.5.
The archives yielded a couple work-arounds, one that uses regular
markers and the other which uses table-markers, but these are at least
8 years old and I can’t tell if they’ve been superceded.

I need a solution that can generate repeating table titles with the
string “(continued)” on the 2^nd and subsequent pages of a long table.
These pages are generated dynamically using the DITA Open-Toolkit’s
DITA to FO transform, which we’ve customized when needed.
Here’s what I’d like to understand:
* What is the current state of the retrieve-table-marker compliance?
* Is full compliance needed to support repeating table titles?
* If so, how much effort would be required to address it?
o by a regular FOP contributor
o a Master’s student with Java background
* If not, what’s the most up-to-date method to implement repeating
table titles using a work-around for FOP 2.5?
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
John
