Hi Andy,
I found a post you made back on June 2/06 about this topic and here is
information from Arbortext that you included:
% There are two ways in which rules can be duplicated to prevent a gap
% in the table when the table breaks across pages and columns. It is
% also possible to make the gap appear on either side of the page
break.
% Of course, if there is a repeated column heading, there will be no
% evidence of a missing rule following the page/column break. These
% options are controlled by the following user settable variables:
%
% \TableRulePreBrk 0=none, 1=last row rule, 2=first table rule
% \TableRulePostBrk 0=none, 1=last row rule, 2=first table rule
%
% Where the last row rule (referred to below as the "row rule") is the
% rule that would normally appear between rows that become
% separated by a column or page break. The first table rule is the
% first row rule encountered in any part of the table.
%
% The defaults for these user settable variables are:
%
\TableRulePreBrk=1 % use the last row rule before the break
\TableRulePostBrk=1 % use the last row rule after the break
%
% One of these two values should always be 1. It is possible to set
% the other value to 0, 1 or 2. If neither value is 1, the row rule
% appears before the break.
%
% If TableRulePostBrk>0 and there is a repeating column heading, the
% value is treated as 0, which results in the row rule being placed
% before the break as mentioned in the paragraph above.
Since we (NRC) always repeat the table header at page breaks, it appears
I could achieve the same results as I now get (with both set to 2) by
setting \TableRulePostBrk=0. It's being treated as zero anyway.
Because the CALS table model specifies no rule at the break I think this
requires /TableRulePreBrk=2 to force a rule to appear. Both 0 and 1 in
a CALS table would turn off the bottom rule.
Cheers,
David
