Repeating tabulate head/tail on every page

Repeating tabulate head/tail on every page

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

I have a long tabulate which spans several pages.

I use:

\starttabulatehead
\HL
\NC  Energy  \NC Temp. \NC Magn. \NC Wavenumb. \NC Wavelength \NC Freq. 
\NC Energy \NC  Energy \NC\NR
\HL
\stoptabulatehead

\starttabulatetail
\HL
\stoptabulatetail

but this only shows the head/tail of the table at the very beginning and
very end of the table.
(Every row spans only a single line.)

I tried now \starttables, but the result is also not perfect:
I have ca. 1/2 of a page of text and then the table should start,
spanning two to three pages.
However, with starttables, it only starts on the second page.

Example available from:

lines)

\setuptabulate[header=repeat] may work

Hmm, it does somehow, but very strangely:
See http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/tmp/energy-tabulate.pdf
and http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/tmp/energy-tabulate.tex

Without repeat it looks ok:
=====page 1===
------------------------
Header
------------------------ % \HL of head
some lines
------------------------  % some \HL
.....
===page 2 ====
......
===page 3====
.....
---------------------- % \HL of tail


However, If I use repeat:

=====page 1===
------------------------
Header
                         % <<<< extra vertical spacing
------------------------ % \HL of head
some lines
                         % <<<<< extra spacing
------------------------ % <<<<< extra HL
------------------------ % some \HL of the tabulate body
.....
.....                    % <<<<<< No \HL of tail
===page 2 ====
------------------------ % \HL of head
Header
......                   % <<<<<<< NO \HL of head
......
------------------------ % \HL of tail (ok)
===page 3====
------------------------
Header
                         % <<<< extra spacing
------------------------ % \HL of head
.....
                         % <<<<< extra spacing
------------------------ % \HL of tail (ok)

In addition I still don't understand why \tables starts on the second page,
