XML and Multipage table

XML and Multipage table

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

Does anybody have an insight into why a table created with the following
mapping rule for XML code does not present it's caption and is not split?

Thanks Joh

\defineXMLnested
  [table]
  {\bgroup
   \defineXMLsave[caption]
   \defineXMLsave[header]
   \defineXMLsave[body]
   %\defineXMLnested[header]{\bTABLEhead} {\eTABLEhead}
   %\defineXMLnested[body]  {\bTABLEbody} {\eTABLEbody}
   \placetable
      [\XMLpar{table}{location}{here}]
      [\XMLpar{table}{label}{unknown}]
      {\XMLflush{caption}}
      \bgroup
     
\setupTABLE[frame=off,split=repeat,style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}]
       
\framed[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on,offset=none,rulethickness=0.75pt]
        \bgroup \bTABLE[distance=7.5pt]
        \bTABLEhead
          \XMLflush{header}
        \eTABLEhead
        \bTABLEbody
          \XMLflush{body}
        \eTABLEbody
        \bTABLEfoot\eTABLEfoot
        }
  {\eTABLE
   \egroup
   \egroup
   \egroup}

first of all, putting a \framed around it makes it unsplittable; best use the framed options that come with the floats 

second, there's a problem in signaling the splitter, which demands a patch

           \ifdim\ht2>\lineheight
             \incrementnumber[\??si]%
             \ifcase\rawnumber[\??si]\or \ifdim\nextboxht=\zeropoint
               \let\floatcaptionsuffix\empty
             \fi \fi
             \bgroup
             #2{\unvbox2}
             \egroup
             \ifdim\nextboxht>\zeropoint
               \page
               \decrementnumber[\floatcaptionnumber]%

             \expandafter\exitloop
           \fi}%
        \egroup}
     \vbox
   \fi}

% beware: you need to set the splitmethod to b (boxed split) 

\starttext

\splitfloat
  {\placetable{test}}
  {\bTABLE[split=repeat,splitmethod=b]
     \dorecurse{100}{\bTR \bTD test \eTD \eTR}
   \eTABLE}

\stoptext

this whole splitting has to be revised (although a two way singaling is not that trivial here)

Ok.

> second, there's a problem in signaling the splitter, which demands a patch
Please excuse my ignorance: can I add these patches just to my *.ctx file or
do I have to edit the actual distributed file? If the latter is true: is it
(in the case of 'core-ntb') './tex/context/base/core-ntb.tex' or
'/base/core-ntb.tex' that need to be edited? How about 'page-flt'? Do I have
to edit './tex/context/base/page-flt.tex' or './base/page-flt.tex'? Do I
have to call 'texexec --make' afterwards?

Sorry for my novice-ness,

Joh

what's a ctx file? not your source i presume? texexec looks for ctx 
files, being xml files, in order to know what pre/postprocessing is needed

normally cont-new.tex but you can also take the current beta
