Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble getting multiple page tables to work when
also using \placetable for captions. Essentially, I want:
(1) Captions and the ability to reference with \in[].
(2) Alignment within a cell at a decimal point.
(3) Span multiple pages with header/footer.
I think I would prefer to use the standard 'TABLES' method but it
looks like item 2 is only supported in natural tables?
Below are two examples. I don't get page breaks in either case and
the table runs off the bottom of pages 2 and 3.
Thanks,
Randall

Just curious if anyone has any suggestions on the request below. I've
searched the list archives and found similar questions but, unfortunately,
no answers. The tables are going in an appendix of work and generally span
5-10 pages... clever (or ugly) hacks greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Randall

My 'solution' would be to drop the page-spanning requirement,
because that makes the rest trivial. I am not saying that it cannot
be done, I just do not know.

there is a page spanning mechanism (linetables); see core-ltb for more info (tables that span n * m pages) with repetition of head lines and such; a bit experimental;

Will linetables ever grow out of the experimental state and get some
documentation?
We're collecting at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linetable
And could you fill in the missing information on linetables at http://
wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview ?
- horizontal and vertical lines (perhaps simply via the usual frame
mechanism)?
- automatic fitting to given size?
Sorry for not investigating myself, I don't need it at the moment but
like usable wiki pages...

having a wiki page for this is fine; it may evolve in documentation in
the end; the problem with line tables is that i made if for usage in a
project that was eventually quit (tex lost in a word-tex) so there was
no priority to finish/document it
