The sources are XML, and there I have to use tables for this. So, I thought the easiest way is to use extreme tables for this: ========================= \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \startxtable[split=yes,frame=off] \startxrow \startxcell Text \stopxcell \startxcell Übersetzung \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \startxcell \input tufte \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext ========================= However, as it turns out, split only seems to mean that the table is split between rows, individual rows stay on the same page. Is there a better approach? I've found the page-streams, but that seems to be too much... Best, Denis ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
