tables aren't breaking onto the next page

When I output to PDF, long tables aren’;t breaking onto the next page, but are running below the page margin. I’ve tried changing the keep together properties like this.

 

<xsl:template name="table.properties">

 

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-page&quot;>auto</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;   

</xsl:template>

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="informaltable.properties&quot;

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.properties"/>

 

But that doesn̵7;t work. How can I get long tables to break onto the next page?

 

I’m using DocBook XSL 1.72 and FOP 0.93.

For me the following worked.

 

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; <!--break tables!-->

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; <xsl:attribute-set name=&quot;table.properties&quot;>

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column"&gt;auto</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-with-next">always</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; </xsl:attribute-set>

All the tables in my documents are <informaltable>, so the problem went away when I did the following:

 

1. Commented out the following. Not sure why it doesn̵7;t work.

<!-- This doesn't work with DocBook 1.72 and FOP 0.93, so informaltable.properties are defined below -->

<!--<;xsl:attribute-set name="informaltable.properties" -->

<!--&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   xsl:use-attribute-sets=&quot;table.properties&quot;/>-->

 

2. Added the following to specify attributes for informaltable.properties.

 

 

<xsl:template name="informaltable.properties&quot;>

 

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">4pt</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">8pt</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">12pt</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">6pt</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">12pt</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">18pt</xsl:attribute> &nbsp; 

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">always</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-page&quot;>always</xsl:attribute>

 &nbsp; &nbsp;   

</xsl:template>

 

Now the tables break correctly onto the next page.
