Hello,

Do you mean that there is an empty space at the bottom of a PDF page and a table begins on the next PDF page? If the table is larger than the empty space it is moved to the next page for avoiding breaking the table to two different pages of the PDF document.

If you have a different problem can you give us more details or an example?

PS: there is a possibility not to transfer a table and share it with the title on the following pages "Continuation of table â„–" in automatic mode?

There is no built-in option in the DocBook stylesheets for breaking the table in two parts and displaying them on two pages. The DocBook stylesheets move the table to the beginning of the next page if it is larger than the empty space at the and of the current page. If you want to break the table you have to write a DocBook customization layer for the DocBook XSL-FO stylesheet. Oxygen helps you a lot with going through the cycle write-apply-debug a DocBook customization layer.
