Ah, I see the problem now. Thanks for the explanation.
Is there any estimates on when version 3.7 is planned for release?

Subject: Re[2]: [xep-support] Creating "section headers" that repeat
after page breaks
Hello Tim,
DTS> What functionality in particular is missing that I would need to
DTS> implement this? According to your documentation, repeatable table
DTS> headers should work as long as I specify cells with
DTS> keep-together.within-column="always".
Yes, this restriction appears because current version of XEP can
insert repeating header only after all cells that may be pending from
the previous column. This means that if you have no keeps and one cell
breaking apart on the page boundary the header will be drawn on the
second page only after the end of this cell, not at the top as it
should. This is not such a problem with regular tables - usually you
just need to keep cells together. However in your case normal solution
will looks like this:
Create a table with a header and a body (body should have two
rows, single column). Write "Section 1" in the first row, place the
whole section into the second row. Write something like "Section 1 -
continued" in the header and set rx:table-omit-initial-header="true"
on the table - this header will appear at the top of the page after
every page break.
Such a method will work as expected starting from the next major
release of XEP.
DTS> Is there something else that is unsupported with table headers?
Well, I believe that we are going to support everything about table
headers in XEP 3.7. :-)
In the current version there is a limitation regarding table headers
repetition (it is described in our documentation).
