I've a table as shown in the stylesheet below. When transforming to PDF using FOP the result is a table spanning across 2 pages. I have 2 questions:

1. How do create a table that spans over numerous pages without splitting the table rows? 2. How do I create a table header that spans across numerous pages and appears at the top of the table on each page?

I can't seen to find any reference to these issues on the archive. Any help would be appreciated.
