Re: \placetable[location=split] reference ??

[Benjamin Buchmuller <benjamin.buchmuller@gmail.com>]

Okay, I found the solution myself: Need to specify \startxtable[split=repeat] or else. 

It’s actually a bit surprising that the value of the “outer” enivornment (placetable) depends on the settings in the inner one (xtable). I speculate this might be because the order of the tables might be different as soon as xtable tries to place them …

Cheers

\startplacetable[reference=tab1,title={A table},location=split]
\startxtable[split=repeat]
\startxrow
\startxcell hi \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stopplacetable
