table header collision

[diggit]

Tables over multiple pages in PDF export mode has colliding header with first row after page-break inside table.

Could you please attach the markdown text to reproduce? You can replace sensible information with nonsense text. I know of this behaviour, let's see if I could fix it with your markdown. I have fixed it with my demos.

My markdown was nothing special. It looks different now, but here is example that produces this problem too. (Modified style, header and footer included too)

I think this happens because of an error in phantomjs (headless browser with pdf print support).

In future, I will look for another renderer, because I'm generally not completely satisfied. Atom (electron) has build in pdf printing (like chrome), but breaks tables -.-

Anyway, this is a Major Issue at which I work. I leave the issue open, but can not help you up to date. :/

Yeah, you are right! https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10927

Workaround mentioned in that bugreport: thead, tfoot {display: table-row-group;} makes only one thead but page-break looks bad too. Table is separated, but on wrong place.

I'll stay tuned, your package pretty good!

Thank´s!

Since 2012 not solved :(

I'd like to switch to another headless browser, but I would like for all operating systems have a base. With hyperlinks it's the same.

I had the same problem and solved by replacing the blanks by   the table thead. For example:

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
             <th>It&nbsp;is&nbsp;an&nbsp;example<th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    ...
</table>

This issue is obsolete. Since last versions of phantomjs the header is not repeated over pages anymore. Unfortunately -.- ariya/phantomjs#13193 ariya/phantomjs#12422 ariya/phantomjs#10615
