+# Repeat Header on Page Breaks
+
+`WithRepeatOnPageBreak` marks individual rows to automatically re-appear at the top of new pages when content overflows. This is essential for multi-page tables, reports, and data exports where headers must remain visible across page boundaries.
+
+## Overview
+
+When a document's content exceeds a single page, maroto automatically creates new pages. Without repeat headers, table headers disappear after the first page, making it difficult to understand subsequent data. The `WithRepeatOnPageBreak()` method ensures marked rows (typically headers) are automatically re-injected at the beginning of each new page.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Table Headers** - Column labels in multi-page tables
+- **Report Sections** - Section titles that span multiple pages
+- **Data Lists** - Headers for contact directories, inventories, or catalogs
+- **Forms** - Field labels in long surveys or questionnaires
+- **Shipping Labels** - Item headers in bill of lading documents
+
+## Key Differences from RegisterHeader
+
+| Aspect | `RegisterHeader()` | `WithRepeatOnPageBreak()` |
+|--------|-------------------|-------------------------|
+| **Scope** | Global (every page) | Local (on overflow only) |
+| **Purpose** | Document-wide header/footer | Table/section header |
+| **Setup** | Once at document start | Per-row marking |
+| **Repeats** | Automatically on all pages | Only when content breaks |
+
+## Usage Notes
+
+- Marked rows are copied when a page break occurs, not moved
+- Performance impact is minimal (typically <1% overhead for reasonable row counts)
+- Works seamlessly with `RegisterHeader()` and `RegisterFooter()`
+- Compatible with the `list` component for building table-like structures
+- Default behavior is non-repeating; must be explicitly enabled

+
+## Code Example
+
+### Basic Table with Repeating Header
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"github.com/johnfercher/maroto/v2"
+	"github.com/johnfercher/maroto/v2/pkg/components/col"
+	"github.com/johnfercher/maroto/v2/pkg/components/row"
+	"github.com/johnfercher/maroto/v2/pkg/components/text"
+	"github.com/johnfercher/maroto/v2/pkg/config"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	m := maroto.New()
+
+	// Create header row that repeats on page breaks
+	headerRow := row.New(8).
+		Add(text.NewCol(3, "Item ID")).
+		Add(text.NewCol(6, "Description")).
+		Add(text.NewCol(3, "Amount")).
+		WithRepeatOnPageBreak()
+
+	m.AddRows(headerRow)
+
+	// Add many data rows (will span multiple pages)
+	for i := 1; i <= 100; i++ {
+		m.AddRow(6,
+			text.NewCol(3, fmt.Sprintf("ID-%d", i)),
+			text.NewCol(6, fmt.Sprintf("Item %d", i)),
+			text.NewCol(3, fmt.Sprintf("$%.2f", 10.50*float64(i))),
+		)
+	}
+
+	doc, err := m.Generate()
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+
+	doc.Save("invoice.pdf")
+}
+```
+
+### With List Component
+
+```go
+type Product struct {
+	ID    string
+	Name  string
+	Price float64
+}
+
+func (p *Product) GetHeader() core.Row {
+	return row.New(8).
+		Add(col.New(3).Add(text.NewCol("Item ID"))).
+		Add(col.New(6).Add(text.NewCol("Product Name"))).
+		Add(col.New(3).Add(text.NewCol("Price"))).
+		WithRepeatOnPageBreak()  // Header repeats on page breaks
+}
+
+func (p *Product) GetContent(i int) core.Row {
+	return row.New(6).
+		Add(col.New(3).Add(text.NewCol(p.ID))).
+		Add(col.New(6).Add(text.NewCol(p.Name))).
+		Add(col.New(3).Add(text.NewCol(fmt.Sprintf("$%.2f", p.Price))))
+}
+
+func main() {
+	m := maroto.New()
+
+	products := []Product{
+		// 100+ products...
+	}
+
+	rows, err := list.Build(products)
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+
+	m.AddRows(rows...)
+	doc, err := m.Generate()
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+
+	doc.Save("catalog.pdf")
+}
+```
