cont-new will be overwritten so when you put a patch in there you need
to check a next upload if that patch is permanent
you can also put patched in a cont-loc file (make sure that you run
mtxrun --generate after making one) and out that file in your
texmf-local tree (or project tree) as these will not be replaced
you can wrap such a patch in:
\ifcsname\??xtableflushsplit\v!repeat\endcsname \else
\fi
to make sure that it's not overloading something built in

Re: [NTG-context] new page before xtable with repeated headers
Thank you Hans,
this works well in my unchanged MWE -
I'll do some more rigorous testing on monday and let you know.
Thanks a lot and hava a nice weekend!

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

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:
