FO to transform with Apache FOP to PDF

Just transform this FO file with FOP 0.94 to PDF.
You can notice the table is not rendered properly.

Hi,

you have a keep-together.within-column="always" on the block surrounding the
table (id="d0e9"). So the table cannot be broken over two pages. If you replace
that always with auto, you get a normal result.

HTH,
Vincent

Thanks for the clarifications.
One more question:

If I set in the Docbook XML which generates the FO the processing instruction:
 <?dbfo keep-together="auto" ?> for the table the resulting FO file has
"keep-together.within-column="auto"" set for the table.

But this alone does not seem to be enough to break the table across multiple pages.
Is this because the parent blocks have "keep-together.within-column="always"" ?

Exactly. Any keep-together set on a parent block will apply to all of its children.
You may want to ask on the docbook-apps mailing list [1] for help to remove the
keep on the parent block. There is probably a template to customize for the
corresponding DocBook element.

Thanks for the help Vincent.
