I have a simple xsl-fo table that displays a collection of violations. Each violation is a group of 3 rows in the table. Each group can be different height some violation attributes are larger that others.. There could be hundreds of violation groups on the page. I am looking for a solution to page brake the table after last row in the violation group so that 1 violation is not broken into 2 pages. Current code does unfortunately brake the table chaotic.
I am new to XSL-FO and did not try any solutions yet. Below is my FO Table. I hope I made sense. My environment is XLS 1.0
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
<fo:table-column/>
<fo:table-column/>
<fo:table-column/>
<fo:table-body>
<!--Violation Group 1-->

Add keep-with-next.within-page="always" (or keep-with-next.within-column="always") to the first two fo:table-row in a violation group.
