Splitting text within an table

[Christrick]

I am editing a bilingual text written in tables to keep the parallel view (side by side view) on one page.
I'm trying to split some sections of the document. But I receive an error message that the split within table doesn't work. However if I remove the table command, my text (in two languages) merges.

Is there a way to solve that issue and keep the parallel structure on the page?

Insert some manual splits. then the automatica splitting wont occur. Or increase the maximum flow size to avoid the splitting.

When you say "split", do you mean to break one html file in two?
If that's the case, you could just end the table and start a new one where you need the break.

Here is another way of achieving what you want without using tables (that are specifically designed for presenting data, not for text layout):

Thanks for these new insights.

@thiago.eec / Yes by "split", I mean to break one html file in two
Ending the tables works. Thanks

@kovidgoyal/ Where do I increase the maximum flow size to avoid the splitting?
