Re: [NTG-context] xtable - what might prevent splitting?

Got it! But I would not have picked that up from reading
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf, which was
my guide for this particular exercise. It certainly says
\placetable[here,split] but there is no mention of the \start...stop
version of that.
Anyway, I now understand what I need to do, so thank you.

When you use the old \place... commands you have to write
\placetable [here,split} {...} {...}
BTW: \placetable expects either {...} or \bgoup ...\egroup as second
mandatory argument, in your case you has been lucky because \startxtable
has an \bgroup in its definition but you shouldn't rely on this.

I cannot understand why my xtable setup does not split to the next
page. As far as I can see I have it set up correctly... though
obviously not! What might be wrong? Below is a sample. In the real
case the number of rows would demand a second page.
\setupxtable[width=4cm,option={stretch,width}]
\setupxtable[split=yes]
\starttext
\placetable[here]{}
\startxtable
\startxrow
\startxcell cell one \stopxcell
\startxcell cell two \stopxcell
\startxcell cell three\stopxcell
\stopxrow
... and so on and so forth for twenty or so rows, but certainly enough
to require a second page
\stopxtable
\stoptext
You have to pass the "split" keyword to the float command, e.g.
\startplacetable [location={here,split}]
\startxtable
...
\stopxtable
\stopplacetable
