Must appear on every page, though. 'tables' or 'tabulate' mode works OK. lintetables? Horizontal lines: no problem (except linetables?) Alternate row shading: natural tables work fine, don't see how to do this with 'tables' or 'tabulate' mode. linetables? Forced page break at arbitrary rows: [after=\page] doesn't seem to work in natural tables, don't see how to do this with 'tables' or 'tabulate' mode. linetables? I've tried all the table modes, including linetables and can't find a mode that gives me all required features. Is this combination of tabular features not possible? -- david ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
