Tabulate and \HL and "Header"

Tabulate and \HL and "Header"

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I have a huge table (spans 20 pages, database generated (perl)) with a
\starttabulate[|l w(5.3em)|l w(5.1em)|l|l|p|p|]

Using \HL between all items I get the odd result that on some pages there
is not \HL at the end of one page (but always on the top).
I would like to have a \HL at the bottom.

Moreover since this a table I'd like to repeat the header on each page.

Notes:
- I'd like to use \bTABLE but it is too slow and hungry and doesn't
  support multi-page anyhow
- I'm in favour of tabulate instead of tables since it nicely calculates
  the needed width of "p" which isn't the case with TaBlE.
  (But this seems presently the only alternative ...)

Tobias

I think that in tabulates you should use \FL, \ML, \LL for top,
middle and bottom rules respectively?

That's something I'd like to do to. It's possible to do it with
\starttable/\stoptable, but not with tabulates, AFAIK.
