table page breaking

table page breaking

[Michael Wiedmann]

Is there support for automati<c page breaking for long tables in
current ConTeXt (ver: 2003.3.4)?

Simon and I noticed that long tables don't break automatically to the
next page but nstead are simply cut at the end of the 'first' page.

tabulate will break

table will break when asked for

bTABLE will break when split=yes

linetables will break horizontally and vertically

The option \setupTABLE[split=yes] causes errors in
DocbookInContext. The revision history gives an error, tables in the
body do not obey this option. 

The error in the revision history is as follows:

! Missing } inserted.
<inserted text> 
                }
<to be read again> 
                   \halign 
\begintbl ... \rowTBL \tabskip \zeropoint \halign 
                                                  \bgroup \registerparoption...
<inserted text> \begintbl 
                          \begintblrow \makeTBL {1}{1}\nexttblcol \makeTBL {...

\endTBL ...tblbox \scratchbox \else \the \tbltoks 
                                                  \fi \else \vbox {\the \tbl...

\eTABLE ...{\doTBL {\row }{\col }}}\eTBL }\endTBL 
                                                  \egroup \egroup \popTBL 
l.52 \eTABLE
            \egroup
? x

The following file mimics what happens when the revision history is
processed, and generates the same error:

\setupTABLE[split=yes]

seem like you try to put something vertical into something horizontal, 
maybe adding \endgraf or \vbox'ing helps

Though I am not using XML at the moment, there seems to be a problem with
pagebreaking with tables of the type \bTABLES .. \eTABLE.
As other list members mentioned, the table is cut on the first page.

I would be greatful if you could have a look at the enclosed example.
