Long tables

Long tables

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi!

I know there's a possibility to set long (several pages) tables with buffers 
and \splitbuffer (or \splittable?)
Hans told me "long time ago", but I can't find it anymore.

I could simply use tabulate, but I need headers and footers on every page.

Did you really believe I would look for an (well-known) LaTeX package on the 
*ConTeXt* mailing list?

Thank you for the try.

Longtable in LaTeX does it. See sample code below (Calc.sty is also used in 
the sample).
ESglobal below is -- if I remember right -- a small  eps-picture. Put in a very 
long text for the dots.

Table.tex (the mother for tables in Context) has also a variety for long tables, 
in the original version is this the option "\BeginTable[u]" (without the "), but 
does not (AFAIK) help with repeating headers and footers. The placing of 
these  had to found via trial runs.

In any case finetuning might be necessary as the lines (text or rules) might 
not have the same vertical distance, depending of the contents of the cells. 
Also longtable might not break the table within e.g. an "itemize" (or similar) 
environment.

Sounds like a bug. You may try to precede such an empty text with
\vbox{\strut}\vskip-\lineheight.

Thanks, with buffers it does the job well.

A bit strange: If there's no other text than some tables
in the document, the tables become splitted, even if it
wouldn't be necessary.

Hm. I remember posting something but my archives have become to big to
search. 

>How can I get a table over more than one page without splitting it into
>two (ore more) tables manually?

using tables: 

%D \starttablehead
%D \HL
%D \VL element \VL atom weight \VL\AR
%D \HL
%D \stoptablehead
%D
%D \starttabletail
%D \HL
%D \stoptabletail
%D
%D \starttables[|||]
%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
%D \stoptables

You can combine that with: 

\splitfloat
  {\placetable{Some Table}}
  {the table or better a buffer containing one}

tabulations are split automatically (even within paragraphs); see up to
date doc.

long tables

[Hraban]

Hello!

I found a question by Grzegorz Wojcik on this subject, but no answer.

How can I get a table over more than one page without splitting it into
two (ore more) tables manually?
