However, my table started near the end of the page, so I added [top] to \placefigure, supposing that context would decide to start it at top of the next page. Instead, it started on the *same* page, with the result that the *few* lines that initially fitted at the end were now (equally few) at the top. With the result that the floating table became interspersed with (large amounts of) normal text. > or: > > \startbuffer > \startables[preamble] > \stoptables > \stopbuffer > > \splitfloat{\placefigure{caption}}{\getbuffer} > > Subnumbers are automatically appended. See core-tab.tex (of beta manual) > for more info. I downloaded the manual (4.4 MB) from the context download page, but it says nothing about starttabellen or starttabulate. The tran-script doesn't know about starttabulate. So where do I find this beta manual? Are footnotes possible in tables? I tried, but a footnote between a non-floating \starttable appeared on the next page, and one in \splitfloat{}{\starttables... didn't appear at all, although its marker did.
