Greetings,

I have a table that spans several pages.  I would like the tbl column
titles to repeat at the top of each page (*independently *of the page
title).  Can tbl do this?

Thanks.

I'm not an expert but I think that by breaking the table into smaller sections and using the table header options you will get what you are after. Something along the lines of

.TS H
options;
format section.
main header
.TH
data
.TE
.TS H
options;
format section.
main header
.TH N
data
.TE

The column headers will only be repeated if the next segment is on a new page


The above was taken from Unix Text Processing, Dale Dougherty & Tim O'Reilly

HTH,
