Keep a Table and Its Title on the Same Page

Use the KeepLinesTogether and KeepWithNext paragraph formats to keep a table

title and the table together on the same page. This example creates a table title, creates

table content, and makes the table header row bold, using table entry indexing. To keep

the table on the same page, the code specifies KeepLinesTogether and KeepWithNext

for all rows except the last row. The last row has only KeepLinesTogether set and not

KeepWithNext. This prevents the table from being forced to stay with the paragraph

that follows.

import mlreportgen.dom.*

rpt = Document('test','docx');

p = Paragraph('Table 1');

p.Style = {Bold,KeepLinesTogether,KeepWithNext};

append(rpt, p);

ca = {Paragraph('Col 1'),Paragraph('Col 2'); ...

Paragraph('data 11'),Paragraph('Data 12'); ...

Paragraph('data 21'),Paragraph('Data 22')};

ca{1,1}.Children(1).Bold = true;

ca{1,2}.Children(1).Bold = true;

for r = 1:2

for c = 1:2

ca{r, c}.Style = {KeepLinesTogether,KeepWithNext};

end

for c = 1:2

ca{3, c}.Style = {KeepLinesTogether};

end
