Yepp, thanks it works! I will read the natural table docu for the rest (need
to get reid of the lines but that's probably easy, and also need to repeat
the heading on the next page. COntact you later if things don't work out

Many thanks

The core-ntb.tex file mentions:

%D To Do:
%D
%D \starttypen
%D break over pagina
%D kop herhalen
%D reset settings

That's a pity, I needed the "kop herhalen". I tried: split=repeat in the
\bTABLE and made the header look like this:

\bTR \bTH bla... \eTH \bTH  blaa blaa \eTH \eTR

but this only results in bold typeface for this table line.

Is there any chance this will be implemented?

Well, it took me some magic, but now suddenly your version provides:

\bTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTABLEfoot

just set 'split' to 'repeat' and define tableheads

Background cells in tables?

[Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen]

Perhaps this was discussed before, but I need to do something with tables
and backgrounds (colors and stuff). But it didn't work! I used a simple
example from core-tab:

\starttabel[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\BC      \BC      \BL         \SR
\VL test \VL test \VL test \VL\SR
\HL
\stoptabel

This doesn't work!. In fact I need the longtables because they are bigger
than 1 page, and I need alternating backgrounds (could use the natural
tables for the latter, but it doesn't do the first). Well anyway, here's the
log:
