Hello,

I have a table with the following structure:
<table-row>
<table-cell><block>text1</block><block>image1</block></table-cell>
<table-cell><block>text2</block><block>image2</block></table-cell>
</table-row>
<table-row>
<table-cell number-columns-spanned="2"><block>text3</block><block>image3</block></table-cell>
</table-row>


I would like to avoid text3 appearing at the end of a page, and image3 on the following.
I tried:
<table-row keep-together="always">...
and
...<block keep-with-next="always">text3</block>...


None worked.

I think it may be because I did not include ".within-page" anywhere.

However, I also tried:
<table-row keep-together.within-page="always">...
and
<table-row keep-together=".within-page=always">...

I did not expect the second to work, but neither did the first.

Can anyone point me to the solution (I must be close enough, but I can't see it).


Also... I have a table and I would like to either

a) make the first row refrain from appearing "alone" at the end of a page.
or
b) make the first row appear on each page that a portion of the table is rendered.


I have not started trying on this.

I suppose that (a) could be accomplished with <table-row keep-with-next...(something, that I'll learn from the answer to the other question)...>. But I have no idea whether (b) is possible or not, and I'd prefer that, if possible.

Is it possible?

Thank you very much.
