Hello, I have finished my thesis using ConTeXt (with an XML only source - yeah ...). I found ConTeXt very usable, much more consistent in syntax than LaTeX (once one gets used to it) and up to the job ... the only thing that was not fixable is multipage table support with TABLEs. As pointed out earlier, there are issues with page breaking associated with it (see http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/page-overflow-preceeding-a-split-table/splitableoverflow.pdf/download) - despite a patch by Hans. If, at one point, one of the developers is going to put some work into TABLEs, I have two requests aside from a reliable splitting algorithm: 1) A clearer numbering scheme ("Table 25a" and "Table 25b" rather than "Table 25a" and "Table 26b") for split tables. 2) an option that allows to repeat the table header, but replaces the caption after the first part of the split table with a configurable string as "Continued from page xyz".
Having these 2(3) additions would be a great boon to ConTeXt (I believe). When I find the time in the next couple of days I'll start to return some of the insights gotten from the newsgroup during the thesis writing process to the community via the wiki. Thanks for your help guys! And thanks for this great package! Joh P.S.: I'd still be able to sneak in a last minute page breaking fix till Tuesday ;0) JG _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
