Hello everyone,
I'm using ConTeXt to write a technical manual and I'm facing with some
strange behavior I don't know how to overcome.
I need a multipage table and I'm using the xtables. This is a (stripped
down) version of a part of my document:
\mainlanguage [en]
\setupxtable
[externaldocs]
[split=repeat, header=repeat, bodyfont=8pt, foregroundstyle=\ss,
option=stretch, align=middle, frame=off, bottomframe=on,
framecolor=elitalblue]
\setupxtable
[externaldocsheader]
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=black, foregroundcolor=white,
foregroundstyle=\ss\bf]
\starttext
\chapter{Introduction}
\startxtable [externaldocs]
\startxtablehead
\startxrow [externaldocsheader]
\startxcell AD No. \stopxcell
\startxcell Title \stopxcell
\startxcell Doc No. \stopxcell
\startxcell Issue \stopxcell
\startxcell Date \stopxcell
\startxcell Applicability \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody
\dorecurse{60}{
\startxrow
\startxcell AD No. \stopxcell
\startxcell Title \stopxcell
\startxcell Doc No. \stopxcell
\startxcell Issue \stopxcell
\startxcell Date \stopxcell
\startxcell Applicability \stopxcell
\stopxrow
}
\stopxtablebody
\stopxtable
\stoptext
What I get, however, is a table that starts at page 2 and not just after
the chapter head.
If the number of rows is smaller and the table fit the first page, then
it starts at the right place.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thank you very much,
Marco

The table starts on page one here. Which version are you using?

Hello Marco,
I have no clue where the issue is, but I can confirm that the table
starts on page two using version 2013.05.28. It works with a current
beta.
If want to keep using TeXLive, instead of ConTeXt standalone, one
possible workaround would be to use LuajitTeX. Surprisingly
LuajitTeX in TeXlive uses context ver: 2014.01.08, whereas LuaTeX
uses ver: 2013.05.28. The newer context version might break your
document, though.

Thank you for your answer :)
How do I use LuajitTeX? I've seen the two options --jit and --jiton
which seem to be the right way. Am I right?
Let's see if it breaks anything :)

context --help | grep jit
--jit use luajittex with jit turned off (only use the faster virtual machine)
--jiton use luajittex with jit turned on (in most cases not faster, even slower)
I've never come across a real world document where --jiton was
faster than --jit, so just stick with --jit.

in fact we found that --jiton is slower ... just use --jit and benefit
from the faster virtual machine (the fact that jitting can slow down
gets obscured by the fact that the vm is twice as fast); i guess that
the context lua codebase is too large to benefit from jit and also
hardly uses jitabble built-in functions (much if that is hardcoded in
jit) and the amount of calls is too low to trade off jitting and using
(we don't do number crunching or have applications running for more than
a few seconds)

It seems my TL2013 installation is missing LuajitTeX. Do you know what
package has it?
Thank you again :)

Only the ConTeXt distribution
(http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/), but if TL serves you
well, you can also simply fetch the binary
(http://distribution.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luajittex/)
provided that one exists for you architecture, make sure it's
executable and place it in the same folder where other TeX Live
binaries are.

You're right, TeXLive apparently doesn't ship LuajitTeX. I don't use
TeXLive myself, but have an installation for testing. Having set up
the PATH for TeXLive "context <file>" invokes TeXLive's version on
my system. However, "context --jit <file>" invokes context
standalone's LuajitTeX since it can't be found in TeXLive's path and
I didn't remove context standalone from my PATH. I should have
noticed that before due to the version mismatch. Sorry for the
misinformation.
