Re: Long tables

["h+i" <na199@worldonline.de>]

Longtable in LaTeX does it. See sample code below (Calc.sty is also used in 
the sample).
ESglobal below is -- if I remember right -- a small  eps-picture. Put in a very 
long text for the dots.

Table.tex (the mother for tables in Context) has also a variety for long tables, 
in the original version is this the option "\BeginTable[u]" (without the "), but 
does not (AFAIK) help with repeating headers and footers. The placing of 
these  had to found via trial runs.

In any case finetuning might be necessary as the lines (text or rules) might 
not have the same vertical distance, depending of the contents of the cells. 
Also longtable might not break the table within e.g. an "itemize" (or similar) 
environment.
