Subject: Table macro choices?
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2009 14:58:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <334EDAFA-BA7F-4FBB-9C32-C3628C8C00A1@enquora.com> (raw)
Earlier this year I attempted to set tabular material using ConTeXt while meeting *all* the following requirements:
> Some columns need fixed width, content must wrap to multiple lines
> Multi-page tables
> Column headings must repeat on every page
> Additional header information is required on every page
> Additional footer information containing tabular text and graphics is required on every page
> Forced page breaks on arbitrary selected rows
> Horizontal rules between specified groups of rows
I was unable to meet all these requirements and reverted to LaTeX. It works, but I prefer ConTeXt and the LaTeX version takes a painfully long time to converge on optimal column widths. I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 - has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements?
David
