Repeat-header erratic behavior

wlupton opened this issue · 2 comments

I haven't yet tried to reproduce this problem in a small document. Please let me know if you'd like me to try to do this.

I've observed that repeat-header appears to work erratically. Please see below the beginnings of some tables, and how they render.

#figure(
  kind: table,
  caption: [Table 7: InstanceRef Facet Definition])[
  #tablex(
    columns: (auto, auto),
    align: (auto, auto),
    fill: table-fill.with(columns: 2, header-rows: 1),
    header-rows: 1,
    repeat-header: true,
    header-hlines-have-priority: false,
    auto-hlines: true,
    auto-vlines: false,
    (), vlinex(), (),
    [Name], [Description],
    [targetParent],
    [
      Specifies the Path Name of the Multi\-Instance Object (table) of
      which an instance (row) is being referenced. \
      "{i}" placeholders and explicit Instance Identifiers are not
      permitted in the Path Name. targetParentScope can be used to
      specify Path Names relative to the Root or Service Object or the
      current object.

This is indeed a bug caused by how tablex uses introspection to produce headers. This should hopefully be fixed in v0.1.0, which will bring a rework to the rendering system. Thanks for the report!
