\splitfloat
   [lines=3,conversion=greek]
   {\placetable{Operators}}
   {\starttablehead
      \HL
      \NC \bf Operator     \NC \bf Matches     \NC\SR
      \HL
      \stoptablehead
      \starttabletail
      \HL
      \stoptabletail
      \starttables[|l|lp(25em)|]
      \dorecurse{50}{\NC . \NC anything \NC\AR}
    \stoptables}

or


\startbuffer
   \starttablehead
     \HL
     \NC \bf Operator     \NC \bf Matches     \NC\SR
     \HL
     \stoptablehead
     \starttabletail
     \HL
     \stoptabletail
     \starttables[|l|lp(25em)|]
     \dorecurse{50}{\NC . \NC anything \NC\AR}
   \stoptables
\stopbuffer

\splitfloat
   [lines=3,conversion=greek]
   {\placetable{Operators}}
   {\getbuffer}
