HTML single file output

I post this request here because I can't reach James at support@waler.com.
The e-mails are returned with the message 'No such user here'

Hi James,

For a customer I created a report that should be generated using your HTML
device. The point is using single file output. I still have 'end of page'
spaces in my generated report.
I have set the top and bottom margins of the printer to 0, I use no headers
and footers only title and summaries. I also changed all my bands into
dynamic height but I still see space between records when there is a page
transition.

My layout:

main report
-----------

Title
Group header
Detailband containing child style subreport
Group footer
Summary


subreport
---------

Title
Detailband
Summary


What can I do to prevent those spaces?

Using Delphi 7, RB 7.04 and ExtraDevices 2.8.

The support address does work but to answer your question:
The space is the size of the page defined in the page setup. You
would need to change the page size to remove the white space.

Hi James,

I understand your point but I think you refer to the white space at the end
of the report.
The white space at the end of a page is related to the fact the RB engine
can't fit the next band on the page so leaving a white gap. For all paper
related output this is no problem. Even for HTML output with pagination this
is ok. But when choosing HTML with SingleFileOutput = True, I would asume
these gaps where not there. I compare it with endless paper printers. There
is always enough room to layout the band at the end of the previous band
(when not using headers and footers and setting the margin to 0).
Do you agree with this?

Kind regards,
Jeroen R?ttink
