multipage tables

multipage tables

[Balazs Nagy]

Hi,

Is there a way to make a table which length needs to split between pages?

\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate does that by default, for tables there is
\starttables ... \stoptables

There are probably some examples in the mail archive,

As I had a similar problem, you suggested to use splitfloat.

Happy new year! (My last mail for this one)

Right, you should use that one in combination with the above when you want
numbered parts. I still have to improve that macro btw.

They are there.

Now I have tried to install locally as written in
wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation

But at the end my system finds only the old version.

/etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf is edited
update-texmf is executed.

I am a little helpless.

Thanks Hans,

in the point of installing upon a given distribution I am a DAU.

I don't know stubs.

Now, where can I install to with which script?

updating context is not that much related to debian;

- make sure that you have the latest latin modern fonts installed (can 
be fetched from ctan)
- then unzip the context zip in some local tree
- make sure that the stubs are ok (there are stubs in the zip)

the only debian specific thing (i guess) is the pdftex binary and 
context should adapt to that automatically

In my private system I now have apgraded to Debian Etch. I hope it is
sufficient. I'm hesitating to upgrade in my office because Debian Etch
is in an unstable stage. I am not used to upgrade single packages
besides the system.

Where are the definitions of the columns and their width in this case?
Is there a brief docu and an example of this version of tables?

Is there no longer a starttables but simply a starttable
initialisation?

And a last question: Why is there a \start - \stop in the example at the
Wiki side?

Hi Gerhard,

I looked into your log file and it shows

  ConTeXt  ver: 2003.1.31  fmt: 2006.1.23  int: english  mes: english

It's an ancient ConTeXt version, you need to uprade your ConTeXt version
first to get a splittet table.

You should download the latest stable version from pragma.

If you want a repeated header on every page try to put
  \setuptables[split=repeat]
into your document.

With new versions from ConTeXt you do no longer the
   \starttables ... \stoptables
command.

Hans changed it to control table splitting completely with split-option
in \setuptables and makes to let the normal  \starttable-environment
split when neccessary.

You should look at the wiki how to upgrade your TeX-distribution.

With my version (of Debian sarge) this option (split) has no
influence. I get one page.

I guess I must install a new version of ConteXt (texexec). Till now I
install all my software with apt-get. Do I have to install texexec
directly now?

It is not necessary to repeat this row on each page. But here it is
repeated automatically at the buttom margin (see appendix). My
dvi-file is created with the split option.

I ran it here (ver: 2006.10.05).  With just \placetable[here], it
doesn't split.  With \placetable[here,split], it splits it into two
parts with Table 1.a on one page and Table 1.b on the other page.

The "Obertext zum Ganzen" is only on the first page, which is what the
.tex code should do (but maybe you wanted it repeated at the top of
each split page?).

Hi Gerhard,

I have at the moment no ConTeXt where I can test your example file
but you should try to change the first line of your float from

  \placetable[here]...

to

  \placetable[here,split]...

I hope it works for you and I also try to run your file till tomorrow.

Hi Wolfgang,

I have modified the wiki-example only slightly in appendix 1.

Appendix 2 is the log-file.

Hi Gerhard,

can you post a minimum example of your problem, because I can't find
a solution only with your current describtion.

Another try:

If I expand the example of tables in wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables
beyond one page, there is no pagebreak, but the table continues at the
bottom.

multipage tables

[Gerhard Kugler]

Hi,

I must set two-page tables. The top row contains headings for the
columns 2 to 4. The left column contains the hours of the day (01:00,
02:00 ... 24:00). The overall width is textwidth.

Which sort of tables is siutable for this purpose?

So far my endeavours deliver many errors.
