    + There have been a few changes in tables that make FOP both more strict and more + compliant to the Recommendation: +

      +
    • XSL-FO 1.1 explicitly states that a row-spanning fo:table-cell element is not + allowed to span further than its enclosing fo:table-header/footer/body element + (see bottom of section + 6.7.3). From now on FOP will give a validation error if a document + contains such an erroneous cell. +
      • +
    • +

      If an fo:table element contains explicit fo:table-column children, then those + elements set the total number of columns in the table. This means that a + validation error will now occur if a row contains more cells than available + columns. This change allows to improve performance, since the rendering of the + table may start as soon as the table-column elements have been parsed.

      +

      If more flexibility is needed, then the fo:table-column elements may be just + omitted. The final number of columns will then be set by the row that has the + most cells.
