This is what the documentation in core-tab says: 

%D \starttypen
%D \definetabletemplate[test][|||]
%D
%D \starttabel[test]
%D \VL test \VL test \VL\AR
%D \VL test \VL test \VL\AR
%D \VL test \VL test \VL\AR
%D \stoptabel
%D \stoptypen

Right. What are customer headings?

This should work. Can you collect 'failing tables', so I can optimize
the mechanism? When I have enough failing examples I'll look at it
(these are the least easy things to implement in TeX) 

The example is from the beginners manual (see latest maps). Suffixes are
automatically added. (\splitfloat, \teilegleitobjekt) Also look at the
buffer mechanism ([name] is optional). Keeps your sources clean!

Ok. For that you need (dutch:)

\starttabelkop
\HL ..... \HL 
\stoptabelkop 

There is also a tail (staart). I suppose you want to do this 'by name'?

Ok. The figure is the problem. I'm in the middle of something else, so I
cannot experiment too much. Can you try this: put \doflushfloats
directly before the \starttabellen. A quick look at the source showed me
that I didn't take this into account.

tables: templates en page splitting

[Berend de Boer]

Hai All,

How can I setup table templates with table headers?

The manual is inaccurate in this respect (it says you can do a 
\def\mytemplate{\starttable[]}, but this gives errors in 
\starttabel[mytemplate] ).

In the sources I saw the \definetabletemplate. This works for setting up 
your column definitions. I also like to add customer headers.

Also my tables don't seem to split. I use \starttabellen. Are there some 
rules? Like minimum of rows, or something else?

Groetjes,

Berend.
