I'd like to be able to split it using the \splitfloat mechanism but that only seems to work if the content of the float is a table, not paragraphs. ---- \definefloat[Exhibit][table] \starttext \input tufte\par \splitfloat[lines=auto]{\placeExhibit{Knuth}} {\dorecurse{4}{\input knuth \par}} \input tufte\page[yes] \stoptext ---- This outputs "there is nothing to split" in the resultant PDF. Is there any way to achieve the equivalent of ---- \definefloat[Exhibit][table] \starttext \input tufte\par \splitfloat[lines=auto]{\placeExhibit{Knuth}} {\bTABLE[frame=off]\dorecurse{4}{\bTR\bTD\input knuth \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \input tufte\page[yes] \stoptext ---- without having to make every paragraph a table cell? Thanks in advance. Duncan
