Currently only *linetable* is supporting horizontal splitting. The syntax looks similar to TABLE, but I don't know the details (never used it). Anyhow worth a try... http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linetable But I don't understand why you want to split a table over columns. You can reach this effect by using offsets (or empty columns if you use backgrounds or frames), beside from the (in my eyes) strange look. And how will you guarantee that a complete table line is horizontally aligned inside of columns (and pages)? Sounds like overkill to me ;) Peter > For instance below I would like three cells in each column > > \starttext > \startcolumns{3} > \placetable{}{ > \bTABLE[split=repeat] > \dorecurse{9}{\bTR\bTD ha \eTD\eTR} > \eTABLE} > \stopcolumns > \stoptext >
