Hi Folks,
the task is simple, generate a new ODT File where new added tables DO NOT break around pages.
It is easy to tell a table to not break around pages in her properties - but I found NO solution to get it as a preset.
The Usecase is a wiki plugin which generates template based ODT Files and uses one ODT File as Template. In this Template I can define all sorts of styles and use themn with the wiki converter. That works fine, but I found no way to define the "non breaking" as a style Sad(
I already posted to the Writer Forum:
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/r ... Table.html
This was my text there:
Hi Folks,
this is my first post - I love OOo, I never had a question I couldn't google or help myself.
This time it's different.
I habe an ODT File which is used in a webapp as a template.
Basicaly I define Styles in the document and habe 2 kind of marks:
- INSERT START & STOP Marks to tell the webapp where to put in the content
- NOT PRINT START & STOP Marks to tell the webapp that this stuff is not for the output, here i put my styles in.
My simple Problem:
How can I tell the ODT file to NOT break tables at the borders of pages?
I can do this for each table individually, but my webapp is creating tables on its own.
It there a way, maybe via styles or global preference, to tell the document to NOT break any tables?
I would be happy if someone of you knew a solution,
best Greetings from Germany,
Chris

Re: Telling ODT documents to not break tables at page border
Do you have access to the document xml?
OOo Writer does not support table styles, but ODF does. Here's the xml generated by Writer with a non-breaking table:

Re: Telling ODT documents to not break tables at page border
Hi acknak,
thank you for this information - I have something inside the template folder called "styles.xml" the comment in the file says:
<!--
This file defines how the document is styled. This was extracted from a ODT file
created in OpenOffice 2.0 and could probably be much simpler.
You probably want to replace this file with a style fitting your corporate identity.
To do so, export the wiki:syntax page, edit it's style definitions (be sure to keep
the names) and save the resulting file. Extract the resulting file with unzip and
copy the styles.xml over this one.
-->
So I tried your red marked snipped there - but unfortunalty without success
I attached the file, maybee you got an Idea how to get your snipped inside - would be great.
regards, Christian

Re: Telling ODT documents to not break tables at page border
It's me again - I feel the solution is near
I attached a second file - renderer.php
This seems to be the place where the odt file is put together.
I deeply feel that your codemodifications, nacknak, have to get inside this file somewhere.
I messed a bit araound, but w/o any success yet - maybee you could look at the file and tell me where to insert the one propertie you mentioned?

Re: Telling ODT documents to not break tables at page border
The xml snip I showed came from the content.xml part of the .odt file, near the top, before the actual body content.
I have no way of testing this, so no guarantee, but you can give this one a try--it should provide the no-break property for any table in the document.
