Re: writing over tables: msg#00049

I have a table in a two columns page PDF document. I use the attribut span

When I generate my document, the table is placed correctly in the page.
The text which follows it starts in the first column thereafter, is written
in the second over the table.

The behaviour you witness is the behaviour described by the Recommendation. Columns are balanced before an area with span="all" because of the underlying structure of nested areas (main-reference-area/span-reference-area/normal-flow-reference-area).

The good behaviour would be written in the second column following the
table.
Do you know how can I correct this problem ?

It is not a "problem", it is an issue of what is specified. What did you read in the Recommendation to indicate that it was a problem of implementation?

If you wish to request new functionality in the Recommendation write to xsl-editors@xxxxxx to plead your case with real-world requirements they can consider for a future version.
