    You probably have to rethink what you are doing. Latex never breaks a table cell across a page break only between rows. Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 6:52
  • Could you please add more backgound information on why you would need such a table with only one huge row that is longter than a page? Probably some kind of list-like environment is more appropriate for your purpose? Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 7:02
  • No, I don't think so. I required similar table as like above with header and footer which will be carry forward on each page. So list will not be appropriate for my purpose Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 7:10
  • Actually, want a table like structure for my problem statement in which 1st row will be of header and next row will contain dynamic size of summary data which can be so huge that it may go on new page. Also, manual rowbreak is not controllable in this case. Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 7:14
  • If this had been easy to implement, breakable rows had been implemented in longtable long time ago. You may split a row at page boundary the using a calstable from the package cals, but not automatically. Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 11:48
