Sven,

I'm not sure I understand the question. Could you be more specific? Also, please explain what you have tried so far.

Thanks,

-Dan

Re: Split tables over two sides with repeating the table-header

Hi mojavelinux,

I've got a table witch ist too high for one A4 page.

I'd like to have that the automatic pagebreak generates a table with the available space on an side, and, if the complete table not fits on this one page, the document generating continues the rest of the same table on the next side including the (now repeatet) headers, Footers etc. like LaTEX with longtable does: http://users.sdsc.edu/~ssmallen/latex/longtable.html

regards
Sven

That's exactly what the PDF generator does. So what's the question?

p.s. For the table headers to repeat, the table must have a header row (the %header option).

Re: Split tables over two sides with repeating the table-header

Hi Dan,

i don't know why it didn't work.
Now, with setting ":pdf-page-layout: landscape" it works.
And without also!?
I think i made a mistake in the subsciption.

Is there an option to shrink a complete Table on one side?

No, the PDF library does not support autofitting a table. It takes the space it takes. You can use the theme to reduce the size of the font in tables, but that applies to all tables.

Cheers,
