HI!

I've got a .mmd file with a large table (50+ lines) that is rendered properly in Marked.

When exporting to paginated PDF, I'd like the headers of the table to repeat across pages for readability, but that's not the way it works...

Thinking to "touch up" the result in Word, I've exported to .docx and the resulting file has no tables whatsoever... Actually the .docx export option seems to be quite "dumbed down" as things like internal links, x-Refs and other features that Word supports seems to be lost in the way...

   DOCX export is, at this point, essentially the same as doing an HTML
   import in Word. It's not ideal, but I'm working on a more intelligent
   system.

   Because we're just dealing with HTML files here, there is no concept of
   pagination in the original document, and page breaks aren't determined
   until the very moment the page is written to the printer/PDF. I can't
   duplicate headers based on page.

   Hi, just wondering if 10 years helped this topic evolve :)

   I'm using Marked 2 to create paginated pdfs. Is there now a way (maybe in my custom CSS), to have table headers repeated on each page if the table spans across multiple pages?

   Thanks!

   Nothing has changed, this is not something Marked will ever be capable of. Not sure if any markdown app can do this.

   Thanks,
   Brett
