Hello everyone,

I'm having an xtable spanning several pages and need to have its headers repeated.

For this I've set "split=repeat", but unfortunately this causes the table to start with a new new page leaving the rest of the preceding page empty. Having "split=yes" makes the tabe continue on the previous page as a need it to, but then the header isn't repeated any longer.

I realize that there has been a very similar question already in https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg93775.html, but my problem happens isolated in a very clean situation w/o any header, floats or the like - and I don't see yet how I can get this working in my situation. Any help is highly appreciated, here is a MWE of my problem:
Always tricky this (on my agenda is to look into the engines page builder ...)

You can put this on cont-new.mkxl as test:

\unprotect

\defcsname\??xtableflushsplit\v!repeat\endcsname
  {\doloop
     {\clf_x_table_flush
        method {\v!split}%
height \ifdim\pagegoal=\maxdimen\textheight\else\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal\relax\fi
      \relax
      \ifcase\c_tabl_x_state
        \exitloop
      \else
        \page
      \fi}}

\protect

Please test a lot! I also needs Wolfgangs opinion on this. Maybe preceding whitespace can interfere so maybe we need some 'slack' parameter.
