Hello,
While the recent modifications to the split table mechanisms provided by
Hans help me out with my most annoying monster table using the XML mapping
code below (see
http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p46-50_split_working.pdf/view for
the typeset table; clearly to much whitespace, but everything is typeset
and page boundaries are honored) and several other -smaller- tables in the
same tome (see
http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p45_unsplit_working.pdf/view for
a typeset example), one medium-sized table that clearly should not be split
gets split none the less (see
http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p162-163_unnecessary_split.pdf/view) ...
and I have no idea why.
Puzzled and helpless, Joh
XML mapping code:
% 'table' - table definition
\defineXMLnested
[table]
[lines=auto]
{
\defineXMLsave[floattitle]
\defineXMLsave[caption]
\defineXMLsave[header]
\defineXMLsave[body]
\defineXMLsave[footer]
}
{
\splitfloat[lines=\XMLop{lines}]
{
\expanded{%
\placetable
[\XMLpar{table}{location}{}]
[\XMLpar{table}{label}{unknown}]
{\select{caption}{\XMLflush{floattitle}
{{\bf\XMLflush{floattitle}} \XMLflush{caption}}}
}
}
{
\setupTABLE[row][1][topframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on]
\bTABLE[frame=off,split=repeat,splitmethod=b,style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}]
\bTABLEhead\XMLflush{header}\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody\XMLflush{body}\eTABLEbody
\bTABLEfoot\XMLflush{footer}\eTABLEfoot
\eTABLE
}
}
% 'td' - table cell definition defaulting to single row/column, automatic
width determination, left alignment
\defineXMLnested
[td]
[rows=1,cols=1,width=,bottomframe=,topframe=,align=right]
