Therefore, I have to cope with the problem of automatic page breaks of tables that only consist of 1 column and several rows. The column often contain different lists. The attached example shows the problem: The table does not break within a list. Is there a way to work around this issue?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance</div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Grande'"><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><div>--</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Christian</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.-</div><div><br></div><div>Steve Jobs, 2005</div></div><div><br></div></span></div></font></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><br></span></div><div><br></div><div>----- example ------</div><div>\documentclass{book}<br>\usepackage{longtable}<br>\usepackage{blindtext}<br>\usepackage{paralist}<br><br>\begin{document}<br>\begin{longtable}{|p{\textwidth}|}<br>\hline<br>\blindtext[1]\\<br>\blindtext[2]\\\hline<br>\begin{compactenum}<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>\item test<br>\end{compactenum}\\<br>\blindtext[2]<br>\hline<br>\end{longtable}<br>\end{document}</div><div>------------------------</div><div><br></div></body></html>
