Hi all,
I have to build a table which should split over several columns
(probably two) and, if necessary, across pages.
I have tried this with
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=3]
\setupTABLE[split=yes]
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD Head \eTD \bTD Head~2 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTR \bTD once \eTD \bTD once~2 \eTD \eTR
\dorecurse{120}{%
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test~2 \eTD \eTR
}
\eTABLEbody
\bTABLEfoot
\bTR \bTD low \eTD \bTD low~2 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEfoot
\eTABLE
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
This does something at least similar to what I had in mind :-)
Problems:
- As soon a page break is involved, the balancing algorithm gets totally
confused. For example, the code above gives me three pages, with a
single cell on the second one. The head is repeated only on the third
page.
- How can I make a column break trigger head repetition instead of a
page break?
- How to get the footer repeated at the end of each column, too?
Furthermore, there are some old messages concerning captions for
multipage tables, but I could not find a satisfactory answer. How can I
get a caption on the first page and something like "Table x cont." on
the following ones?
Thanks,
--
Eckhart
