#399 #416 Initial fix for header/footer showing on page without body rows

[danfickle]

I also plan to add some commits to this PR with general table cleanup of code.

@VictorAtPL, if you get time, you could perhaps test this branch with your real world tables.

The test I just committed for #202 still produces this:

so clearly there is still more related problems in the table code.

Right now it works differently. It puts part of text on the previous page, and part of it on the next, even that I have:

div.parts table.part tr, div.parts table.part tr td {
    page-break-inside: avoid;
}

in the styles.

@danfickle Hi, any update when this will be ready to be released? I'm hopeful it will fix the issues i'm experiencing.

[danfickle]

@VictorAtPL, it is not clear from your comment if this is a problem introduced in this pr or was already existing? If it was already existing I propose to merge this pr and do a release, then we can work more on table rendering in a different pr.

@leedsalex Very soon if this pr has not introduced any additional problems as above.

@danfickle
I will test it tomorrow and answer your question.

@danfickle
I am not sure. Maybe one of the problem is fixed, but I still have some problems in my scenario/

Conclusions:
As you can see, there are still problems with whole header and footer being not rendered ("rectangle" near "Grafika" and arrow below "C"). Also, on your branch, "dsadsa" of second C is on the previous page, and image of the second C doesn't have margin. Also, the second C is not rendered on the dark-blue area for your fix.

Hi @VictorAtPL,
I'm back finally. I had a play around but wasn't able to replicate. Are you able to share how the left blue arrow bar is achieved? At a guess it involves rowspan, transforms and a CSS arrow? Even better would be a sample.
