Hi,

Not exactly in XSL-FO. The possibilities are:
1. somehow keep track of the number of rows as they are created, combined
with the row-height. This would let you know at XSLT stage 'when' a
page-break occurs.
2. (if possible) use the region-before of the page to hold the
table-header(-table), insert an fo:retrieve-marker in there, and use
strategically placed fo:markers inside the table on the region-body. This
approach would do away with the need to know when the page-break occurs, but
is useful only if you don't need to modify the 'necessary data' (i.e. just
use it in it the output, no further arithmetic)

Hmm.. Maybe a combination of using the region-before, and adding separate
tables with the 'sub-headers' as headers (?)


HTH!
