Repeat table row heading across pages

skycaptain
I'm trying to display large multidimensional tables. For an example see the attached file. The table uses a thead, but also headings inside the tbody to breakdown the multidimensionality. In this example I reduced the page height to cause a page-break even with a few table entries – the actual table will have much more entries over several pages. Therefore, visual guiding will be nessessary: While the th-tags inside the thead are properly repeated across pages, th-tags inside a tbody are not. In the attached example I want to display "2000" before "2011" on the second page. Is there a way to do this?

Does the lack of an answer mean that this is not possible? I have the same question.

This is not possible at the moment, no.

(You could technically achieve it for this example with a two-pass JavaScript process to detect the page breaks and tweak the style before re-running Prince but it would take considerable effort).
