some basic TABLE questions

some basic TABLE questions

[Karsten Heymann]

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,

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,
