multipage tables - vertical space

multipage tables - vertical space

[Peter Van Kranenburg]

Hello all,

What's wrong with this multipage table?

\starttext
\setuptables[split=repeat]
\placetable[split,here][tab:example]{Long Table Example}{\start
\starttablehead
\HL
\VL \bf A \VL \bf B \VL\MR
\HL
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL
\stoptabletail
\starttables[|l|l|]
\dorecurse{100}{\VL first \VL second \VL\MR}
\stoptables
\stop}
\stoptext

On each page, I get a vertical space above the footer. see:
http://syrinx.knorrie.org/~pvk/tableproblem/tableproblem.pdf

Using TeX Live 2009 for Mac OS X:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009)
  (/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
entering extended mode
(./tableproblem.tex

ConTeXt  ver: 2009.08.19 17:10 MKII  fmt: 2010.6.15  int: english/english

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Peter van Kranenburg

there is some hard codes tolerance:

    \def\tsplitminimumfreelines{2}%

that could be made configurable (not sure what key to use)

Thanks, but I'm still struggling with this. I don't understand what to 
do with your suggestion.

Should I use other table macro's?
