Set pagination for mergence cell with web reporting tool

Background

Mergence cell is widely used in web report. However, the page break of mergence cell may cause a lot of troubling problems if users don’t have a professional web reporting tool.

For group report, mergence cell is usually the title of a group. Then, if this group has too much to be displayed on one page. Users often hope the title can be displayed in the mergence cell in each page.

As a result, report programmers commonly have to count how many pages and rows the group occupies, and display the title in corresponding mergence cells.

When the content of a mergence cell is a large text, there is a bigger problem.

As the content is too long to be displayed in one page, it has to be split and displayed in pages. In order to split the content, report programmers have to count that how many words can be displayed in one page. However, as the font sizes of server and browser-side may be different, this is really difficult.

Imagine that if all these functions are to be realized by programming, anyone will be driven crazy.

Then, how to solve it?
