Split Table, don't repeat caption

Split Table, don't repeat caption

[Denis Maier]

Hi,

is there a way not to repeat the caption of a multipage natural table? 
I've searched the list archive and it looks the question came up a 
couple of times, but I couldn't find an answer.

Also, if I add a footnote to a caption of a split table, this note 
always appears when the caption appears for the last time. Can that be 
changed?

Best,
Denis

If this doesn't help you have to provide a example.

\starttext

\bTABLE[split=yes]
     \bTABLEhead
         \bTR \bTD Header 1 \eTD \bTD Header 2 \eTD \eTR
     \eTABLEhead
     \bTABLEbody
         \dorecurse{100}{\bTR \bTD Column 1 \eTD \bTD Column 2 \eTD \eTR}
     \eTABLEbody
\eTABLE

\stoptext

Ok:

=========================
\setupcaption[table]
     [location=top]
\starttext

\startplacetable[location=split,title={Title\footnote{footnote}}]
     \bTABLE[split=yes]
     \bTABLEhead
         \bTR \bTD Header 1 \eTD \bTD Header 2 \eTD \eTR
     \eTABLEhead
     \bTABLEbody
         \dorecurse{100}{\bTR \bTD Column 1 \eTD \bTD Column 2 \eTD \eTR}
     \eTABLEbody
     \eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
========================

So, the caption appears on each page, and the footnote is attached to 
the last caption. Ideally, the footnote should be attached to the first 
caption. (And, actually, I want the caption only once.)

Best,
Denis

Ok, I've found a solution:

```
\setupcaption[table][location=top]
\starttext


\startplacetable[location={none,split}]
     \startalignment[middle]
     \placefloatcaption[table][title={Title\footnote{footnote}}]
     \stopalignment
     \bTABLE[split=yes]
     \bTABLEhead
         \bTR \bTD Header 1 \eTD \bTD Header 2 \eTD \eTR
     \eTABLEhead
     \bTABLEbody
         \dorecurse{100}{\bTR \bTD Column 1 \eTD \bTD Column 2 \eTD \eTR}
     \eTABLEbody
     \eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
```

That works, but isn't there an easier solution yet? An 
automatic/parameter-based solution would be great. Something like:

=========================
\setupcaption[table]
     [location=top]
\starttext

\startplacetable[location={split,captiononcefirst},title={Title\footnote{footnote}}] 

    [...]
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
========================


Best,
Denis
