I made markdown for testing this issue:

# First page

---

|Table 1|
|:---:|
|Test table|

|Table 2|
|:---|
|Test table|

|Table 3|
|---:|
|Test table|

The table header duplication will occur in after second page.

Reported Chromium bug tracker, and already fixed in Chromium 54: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=631222

We should wait update of Electron, included Chromium 54 (perhaps Electron 1.5.x).

Does it mean that this problem can not be solved at this stage before Electron is updated?

[yhatt]

Yes, Marp cannot affect Electron's PDF rendering.

Luckily Electron 1.3.8 (Chromium 52 and it have not a glitch) had updated as the latest release. Marp is not using 1.4.x new features currently.

Perhaps the current best way to fix may update Electron to 1.3.8.

Thanks for your reply. But I am still a little bit confusing about the Electron. Should I install it stand alone or it is already included in the release of marp? Does marp require external software (such as Electron or others) to render the PDF? As I didn't have either Chromium or Electron installed on my computer, but I can still get the PDF generated.

[yhatt]

Electron has already included in the release of Marp. You don't have to install external software (unless you are Marp developer).

Temporarily we rollbacked to Electron. We will update when Electron 1.5.x is released
