Page-break-inside on tables

[Ville Vartiainen]

Hi,

I'm getting weird behaviour when using the page-break-inside:avoid
property to prevent, for example, tables breaking over two pages. It's
causing some random behaviour like changing the colour of the pager
number, and then creating unnecessary page breaks in some instances in
paragraph text and lists.

Is this a known issue, or do I need to go over my templates for PDF
output again?

Thanks,

v

The color-changing behavior may be something we've seen before and will address for the 0.6.0 final.

I'm not sure we've seen the specific page-breaking issue, do you have a sample document?

Sorry I can't send the material over :(

But basically using the page-break-inside on the table element causes
odd page breaks in some instances, particularly the table might carry
a paragraph or ist that is immediately above it onto the next page
(when the p or ul could have stayed on the previous page).

That's ok, it helps, but your description is probably sufficient.

Is this a sample of what you're referring to as far as the table pulling the previous block element with it? Definitely buggy behavior and something we'll try to address for the final 0.6.0 release.

I believe you can quickly work around this particular issue by surrounding your table with a div.
