Hi,
I try currently to write a table with a repeated header on all pages and
rules above and below the header
and another rule below the table on all pages. I tried this now with all
tables in ConTeXt but I can't the
desired result from any of them.
Tabulate has problems with rule below the header and did not support
repeated footers.
TaBlE has problems with the spacing of his rows below the header and at the
bottom of the tables,
it has also a problem with the spacing from the rule at the bottom.
Natural Tables allow me to put a rule above and below the header but I'm
unable to get rule at last row
on every page, the "last" key for rows use always the last row of the hole
table.
I played also a little bit with textbackground but I have a few problems
with the results, the background
has always the width of the current textwidth and it takes always the
topskip into account.
What it tried so far is the following code:
\setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape]
\setuplayout[lines=5]
\starttext
\tracetablestrue
\setuptables[split=repeat]
\starttablehead

I will also show you what I tried to get with textbackgrounds.
\setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape]
\setuplayout[lines=5]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startuseMPgraphic{tableback}
pickup pencircle scaled 1pt;
path p;
p = (multipars[1]);
draw p withcolor red;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\definetextbackground
[mytab]
[location=paragraph,
width=local,
mp=tableback]
\starttext
%\topskip=0pt
\setuptabulate
[before={\starttextbackground[mytab]},
