Hi,

We try to prevent a page break inside a table/paragraph. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. (see shortened code below).

Using addTable isn't an option, we want to allow users to insert tables, images etc. Currently we only have libreoffice, editting table styles is not yet supported.

protected function generateTable(array $tableData) {
                $html = '<style>
                        p {page-break-inside:avoid;}
                        table{ width: 100%; padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:left;page-break-inside:avoid;font-size:8pt;} 
                        tbody {page-break-inside:avoid;}
                        tr{ page-break-inside:avoid; } 
                        td{border: 1px solid #222;page-break-inside:avoid;}
                        th{border: 1px solid #222; text-align:left;page-break-inside:avoid; font-weight:normal;}
                </style><p><table><caption>test caption</caption>';
                foreach($tableData as $name => $value) {
                        $html.= '<tr>';
                        $html.= '<td style="width:40px;">'.trim($name).'</td>';
                        $html.= '<td style="width:80px;">'.trim(nl2br($value)).'</td>';
                        $html.= '</tr>';
                }
                $html.= '</table></p><br />';
                return $html;
        }

$createDocx = new CreateDocx();
$createDocx->embedHTML($this->generateKeyValueTable($tableData, array('strictWordStyles' => false)));

Kind Regards,

Aristoteles

Hello,

Using tr: {page-break-inside:avoid;} adds this tag to the DOCX:

<w:cantSplit/>

that disable the option "Allow row to break accross pages" in the DOCX.

Just as test to check it, could you try opening the DOCX using MS Word? We have teste it using MS Word 2007, MS Word 2013 and LibreOffice 5 and it's working perfectly.

For further support about this issue, please send an email to contact[at]phpdocx.com the DOCX output you get and other DOCX after fixing the content manually using MS Word or LibreOffice (this is changing the content to get the exact output you need to get).

Regards.

Unfortunately this didn't solve it. I send the e-mail with the documents to you.

Kind Regards,
