need support repeat on cell element which means if there is a page-break occurs
in the cell, the cell content should be repeated in the next page.

Comment 6 Wenfeng Li CLA 2008-07-14 02:55:30 EDT 
Can we cache current header for each Xtab row until a new header is returned from the cube to support repeat row-headers?   Such cache would not be large to unbounded.

I think repeat row header is a common usage in Xtab.
Comment 7 Gang Liu CLA 2008-07-14 06:12:16 EDT 
Actually now birt can suppport repeat row-header and column-header. 
From the description of this bug, it request to repeat items in cells. The title of the bug doesn't meet with the description. 
The requirement should be:
when a cell spans muliple pages, the content of the cell should be repeat in multiple pages.
Comment 8 Wei Yan CLA 2009-05-14 01:28:06 EDT 
defer to 2.5.1
Comment 9 Wenfeng Li CLA 2009-09-16 19:49:18 EDT 
schedule to 2.6 to allow more time to work on this enhancement.
