AngularJS ng-repeat over multiple tr

Question

I'm trying to get the following code to work (data comes from an API):

...
<tbody ng-repeat="verbinding in data.connection" style="border-bottom:2px solid black;">

    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td>{{verbinding.departure.time  * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{verbinding.departure.platform}}</td>
        <td><a href="/liveboard/{{verbinding.departure.stationinfo.id}}">{{verbinding.departure.station}}</td>
    </tr>

    <tr ng-if="verbinding.departure.vehicle == verbinding.arrival.vehicle">
        <td colspan = "5" style="text-align:center;">{{verbinding.departure.vehicle}}</td>
    </tr>
<span ng-if="verbinding.departure.vehicle != verbinding.arrival.vehicle" ng-repeat="via in verbinding.vias.via">
    <tr>
        <td>{{via.arrival.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{via.arrival.platform}}</td>
        <td>{{via.departure.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{via.departure.platform}}</td>
        <td><a href = "/liveboard/{{via.stationinfo.id}}">{{via.station}}</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan = "5">{{via.vehicle.id}}</td>
    </tr>
</span>
...

The code above doesn't work. The reason why I'm using the spanis because I need two to include two trs. The following does work:

...
<tr ng-if="verbinding.departure.vehicle != verbinding.arrival.vehicle" ng-repeat="via in verbinding.vias.via">
    <td>{{via.arrival.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
    <td>{{via.arrival.platform}}</td>
    <td>{{via.departure.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
    <td>{{via.departure.platform}}</td>
    <td><a href = "/liveboard/{{via.stationinfo.id}}">{{via.station}}</a></td>
</tr>
...

but then I only have one tr, and I need two.

I think ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end might be what you're looking for.

From the docs:

The ng-repeat-start directive works the same as ng-repeat, but will repeat all the HTML code (including the tag it's defined on) up to and including the ending HTML tag where ng-repeat-end is placed.

Perhaps something like this...

<tbody ng-repeat="verbinding in data.connection" style="border-bottom:2px solid black;">

    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
        <td>{{verbinding.departure.time  * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{verbinding.departure.platform}}</td>
        <td><a href="/liveboard/{{verbinding.departure.stationinfo.id}}">{{verbinding.departure.station}}</td>
    </tr>

    <tr ng-if="verbinding.departure.vehicle == verbinding.arrival.vehicle">
        <td colspan = "5" style="text-align:center;">{{verbinding.departure.vehicle}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr ng-repeat-start="via in verbinding.vias.via">
        <td>{{via.arrival.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{via.arrival.platform}}</td>
        <td>{{via.departure.time * 1000 | date:'HH:mm'}}</td>
        <td>{{via.departure.platform}}</td>
        <td><a href = "/liveboard/{{via.stationinfo.id}}">{{via.station}}</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr ng-repeat-end>
        <td colspan = "5">{{via.vehicle.id}}</td>
    </tr>
