FOSI - controling the bottom rule on a continued table

FOSI - controling the bottom rule on a continued table

Is it possible to control the last rule on a page where a table breaks
across columns or pages? I have the following configurations:

1) Table with no row separating rules but has rules around the frame. I'd
like the point where the table breaks to have a rule across the bottom.

2) Table with row separating rules, when it breaks I would like the last
rule to not appear and the final row of the table (on contineud page) to
have a ruling).

With table properties I have been able to acheive:

1) Table with no row separation, with a frame, but the row at the break
point does not have a ruling. Final row of the table on continued page
does have the ruling.

2) Table with row separation rules has rules at the break point and end of
the table.

Hi Dan,

If you haven't found them already, I suggest you take a look at the following:

TPI 140533
TPI 144352
TAN 135831

Our production environment is 5.2 M040 and I use a <doctype>.tmx file with these entries:

% bottom table rules at page breaks
\TableRulePreBrk=2
\TableRulePostBrk=2

Hope this helps.

These are help commands? I'm not following your reference.



Hi Dan,

These are tech notes in the PTC Arbortext Support Knowledge Base.

David

Thanks, just looked at these notes. It appears this is a global switch. If
I'm reading my spec correctly (and it wasn't an oversite in the spec) it
looks like a few special tables in the front matter have to be enclosed
while the tables in the body don't.

We have a meeting with the customer in a few weeks where I will try and
verify the requirement. Based upon this information, it looks like I would
have to compose the two sections differently and maybe even have 2
different DTDs.

AFAIK, the .tmx files can be document-specific (like most other Arbortext config files) by putting them in the same directory as the document and naming them as <doc_name>.tmx.

Perhaps this would do the trick if your tables are individual files.
