I then put 2 + 2 together and made 5. It doesn't work as I expected. Are Table heads and foots available? TABLEbody gives no output and TABLEhead and TABLEfoot just place themselves at the end of table (head first, foot next) rather than at the beginning and end of each column. One version of my test code is below; \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Head 1 \eTH \bTH Head 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTH Foot 1 \eTH \bTH Foot 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEfoot \bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{40}{\bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE I have been looking forward to this feature for some time. If you work on it, it would be nice to have the middle table breaks to have their own heads and foots such that one can put 'continued' etc. into the table.
