How to repeat content on exactly one page?

One item should be under the other (they pretty much fill the page horizontally), and then as many as may fit on that page. They’re grade sheets for teachers to use, and they need one for each pupil, but the more I can get on one page, the less printing is needed.

So zero space between them? For printing, I think most printers won’t print more than a few millimeters near the paper sides.

#let fill-first-page(body) = {
  set page(margin: 5mm)
  set par(spacing: 0pt)
  layout(size => {
    let table-size = measure(body, ..size)
    let count = int(size.height / table-size.height)
    for _ in range(count) {
      body
    }
  })
  pagebreak(weak: true)
}

#let the-table = {
  set text(9pt)
  show table.cell.where(y: 0): strong
  let rows = 10
  let header = (
    [Date],
    [Assignment Name],
    [Points Earned],
    [Points Possible],
    [Total Earned],
    [Total Possible],
    [Current overall %],
    [Current Letter Grade],
  )
  table(
    columns: (15mm, 1fr) + (15mm,) * (header.len() - 2),
    align: center + horizon,
    table.header(..header),
    ..range(header.len() * rows).map(_ => [~]),
  )
}

#fill-first-page(the-table)

I was under the impression that I could use that only to fill space horizontally, not vertically.

I haven’t seen a single example where repeat is used vertically. Maybe when CJK vertical layout will come. RFC: Vertical Writing Mode · Issue #5908 · typst/typst · GitHub
