KeepTogether

The <keepTogether>tag tries to keep two elements together. This means when there is a page break both elements would move to the next page. This is approximate, so it sometimes will not work.

It can only be used within a <body>.

Example

...
<keepTogether>
  <text>Headline of the following table
  </text>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>SOME LONG TEXT</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</keepTogether>
...

Attributes

spaceAfter (optional)

Allowed Children

A <keepTogether> can contain: <checkbox>, <columns>, <field>, <image>, <line>, <rect>, <space>, <table>, and <text>.
