Forum How do I...?

Table running header different from main header.

fnardone
Hi,

Is it possible to have the table's running header (the one that appears after a page break in the middle of the table) different from the main header (the one that appears before the first row of the table body) ?

Something like:
+-----------------------------+ \
| People in sales department  |  \
+---------------+-------------+   } main header
|     Name      |   Surname   |  /
+---------------+-------------+ /
| John          | Smith       |
+---------------+-------------+
| Peter         | Pan         |
+---------------+-------------+
| Tinker        | Bell        |
+---------------+-------------+
>======== page break ========<
+-----------------------------+\
| Sales dept (cont.)          | } running header
+---------------+-------------+/
| Someone       | Else        |
+---------------+-------------+


Currently I am using a div overlayed on top of the real header to make the main header. I suspect that this is part of the cause why sometimes I have the running header on the second page even if all data rows fits on the first page.

I am using Prince 6.0 on Linux

Thanks!

At the moment the only way to do this is to use table captions: add two table captions, and apply "caption-page: first" to the first one and "caption-page: following" to the second.

Thanks, I'll try that!
