\bTABLE bug, please help !

Hi,

Please see the attached example. The \bTABLE in the footer of the page ‘inherits' the
first line of the split \bTABLE in the running text. I have no idea how to fix this
or why this even happens. Help!

I’ll need a way to work around this problem in my current ConTeXt installation for
this project. That is now nearly 4 years old, but the same bug is still happens with
a new beta of mkiv.

I cannot switch to \startxtable because I would need \startembeddedxtable, and that
has way too many limitations to be useful in this project.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi,

Never mind, I got it (starting at \loggingall output for a while). This
patch to my input fixes it:

  \unprotect
  \setupfootertexts[{\tabl_ntb_next_level \getbuffer[mytable] \tabl_ntb_prev_level}]
  \protect

Best wishes,
Taco

you beat me on this ... (still puzzled because nesting shoudl kind of work)

I'll add this:

%D This is for the special cases where for instance a table is in a 
header or footer
%D line and we have a split table in progress. (See mail to list from Taco.)

\unexpanded\def\bTABLEnested{\tabl_ntb_next_level\bTABLE}
\unexpanded\def\eTABLEnested{\eTABLE\tabl_ntb_next_level}

Well, they are not _really_ nested, which is the problem, of course.

That last macro should be \tabl_ntb_prev_level ;)
