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

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.
