Hi, I have several long and slenders tables like this:
-------8<-------
\starttext
Some Text at start.
% Point bA
\placetable[split]{My long table}{
% Point bB
\bTABLE[split=repeat]
\bTABLEhead
\bTR\bTD one \eTD\bTD two \eTD\bTD three \eTD\eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\bTD 2 \eTD\bTD 3 \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
% Point eB
}
% Point eA
Some Text at the end.
\stoptext
-------8<-------
Typesetting this tables are quite ugly because the wide white space each
side.
I think the ideal solution is to place columns inside the floating but
context garden wiki says float and columns doesn't work very well. I've
tried put in Points "bA" and "eA" and in "bB" and "eB" the commands
\startcolumn - \stopcolumn
\startsinglecolumn - \stopsinglecolumn
but unsuccesful.
I am thinking to cut manually the table but there are enough amount of
table to don't like the idea.
In the worst case, I'll force tables to start a page and cut them manually.
Questions:
* Is there a easy automatically system to cut tables in columns? How?
* Do you think/know a better way to show/expose data with this shape
(long rows and few columns)?
Thanks.
