Problem
Table headers are all at the top. So for long tables one has to scroll a lot.
Idea
I would love to have the table headers added again at the top of the next page.
Syntax could look like this:
.doctype {paged}
.theme {paperwhite} layout:{latex}
.loremipsum
.loremipsum
.loremipsum
.loremipsum
.tableheaders {repeat}

And output similar to this (I split the table into two for this screenshot, just imagine that the caption is not there)
