Hi,
when you use extreme tables without a float environment but repeat the
header the table always starts on a new page.
%%%% begin example
\starttext
\samplefile{weisman}
\blank
\startxtable[header=repeat,split=repeat]
\startxtablehead
\startxrow \startxcell Table head \stopxcell \stopxrow
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody
\dorecurse{100}{\startxrow \startxcell Table body \stopxcell
\stopxrow}
\stopxtablebody
\stopxtable
\stoptext
%%%% end example
I use
\starttext
\startxtable [split=repeat,header=repeat,footer=repeat]
\startbuffer [header]
...
\stopbuffer
\startxtablehead
\getbuffer [header]
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablenext
\getbuffer [header]
\stopxtablenext
\startxtablebody
...
\stopxtablebody
\startxtablefoot
...
\stopxtablefoot
\stopxtable
\stoptext
without a float environment, and I do NOT get a spurious page break, so
I do not understand what is happening in your sample above. Is it the
\break (as you suggest)?
In your example above, why not simply use a float environment:
\startplacetable [location=force,number=no]
\startxtable
...
\stopxtable
\stopplacetable
Supplementary question. How might I produce/impose a page break at a
certain point in a long table? Say that I may want to provoke a break
before a certain \startxrow...\stopxrow
Thanks
