Hello,
it would be very kind if someone could answer the following questions
about the possibilities of TABLE:
- there some semi-automatic way of splitting tables on multiple pages if
those tables are in landscape mode (which I achieve by putting them
into a \rotating{}-Command)?
- How do I add a caption to (portrait) multipage TABLEs? \placefigure
obviously doesn't work.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Yours,
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
I hope to be able to give at least partial answers
Instead of using a \framed construct I would suggest to use a background:
\setupbackgrounds[text][state=repeat,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8]
bTABLE breaks over pages if you use [split=repeat] together with a\
bTABLEhead...\eTABLEhead.
Using the \rotate command prevents breaking, Possibly you better use
\setuppapersize[a4,landscape][a4,landscape], which of course rotates
the whole layout including headers and footers.
I am afraid, that once you include the table into a \placefigure
environment, breaking is prevented.
I was able to break a long table with a merged cell as you have it in
the first column. However there is possibly a bug, because this column
has no "bottomframe".
In order to place the "LOW TECH" text correctly you might use a \framed
command within the table
\bTD[nr=7,align=lohi] \rotate[rotation=90]{\framed[frame=off,
offset=.5em,align=center,width=3cm]{Low Tech}}\eTD
AFAIK \placetable or \placefigure accepts a single caption only and will
not break over pages.
Kind regards
Willi

Hi Willi,
sorry for the late reply, was a bit ill

I'll try that, but the frame coloring is just for debugging. My
intention was to control the exact aligning of the table on the page.

I didn't think of that, I'll try it out.

Is there a way to add a caption without \placetable then?

I'll try that too.
Thanks alot,
