Long table getting truncated, when importing from CSV.

Hi all,

I'm using this code:

[format="csv", options="header"]
|===
include::data/XTC2_Pinout_by_function.csv[]
|===

to import a rather long table from a CSV file.
And I'm seeing, in the PDF output, the table run all the way to the bottom edge of the paper, at which point it gets truncated (i.e. - It does not continue onto the next page.)

Does anyone know how to prevent this?

Thanks!

I don't know if it works using the built-in PDF output, but if you are using the DocBook/FOP route, add the breakable option to the table: options="breakable,header"

That did it! Thanks.

It’s curious: the documentation claims that “breakable” is the default; apparently, not?

Thanks,

RE: Long table getting truncated, when importing from CSV.

It looks like a bug: when generating pdf with docbook/fop,
- a long csv without a table title does not break in unless you use 'breakable'
- a long csv with a table title does properly break without having to use 'breakable'

Administrator

breakable is supposed to be the default.

In my tests, the table always breaks by default. My guess is that we're using different versions of the DocBook toolchain (or fop) and those versions have a different default behavior.

I'm using:

asciidoctor -b docbook document.adoc

fopub document.xml

Re: Long table getting truncated, when importing from CSV.

What Asciidoctor version did you test with? I am using 1.5.4.

I don't think the problem is in stylesheets or fop:

When I compare the generated docbook, I see '<?dbfo keep-together="auto"?>' generated in the xml for a regular table, but not for an informal table.

Once I add 'breakable' to the table options in Asciidoctor, the '<?dbfo keep-together="auto"?>' is generated for informal tables as well.

Without the dbfo processing instruction, tables will not break.

I am using docbook5.
