table won't break across page

table won't break across page

[Paul Tremblay]

I am trying to create a table that breaks across pages. I used the
example from the wiki. The table repeated its headers like it should
have, but it did not break across a page; it stuck the table on one
page. 

Here is an excerpt from the file:

\placetable[here][tab:insurance]{Percentage of People without health
insurance in US}{\start
\starttablehead
\HL
\VL State     \VL 3-year average(2001-2003) \VL 2-year average(2001-2002)  \VL\SR
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL[4]
\stoptabletail
\starttables[|l w(30mm)|l|l|]
\VL Alabama   \VL 13.3                     \VL 13.5                        \VL\FR
\HL
\VL Alaska    \VL 17.8                     \VL 18.8                        \VL\MR
\HL
...
\stoptables
\stop}

Thanks

Paul

The example on the wiki is messed up.  I guess I could have fixed it,
but I haven't had time:

\splitfloat
  {\placetable{Percentage of People without…}}
  {\starttablehead
   ⋮
   \stoptablehead
   \starttabletail
   ⋮
   \stoptabletail
   \starttables[…]
   ⋮
   \stoptables}

Enjoy,

Thanks. I've included this example at:

Your mailer seems to mess up the charset.  You're sending us-ascii
responses to utf-8 mail and including the utf-8 sequences (the ???'s),

When I got your email, I saw the ???. I assumed you put them in to
indicate I should fill in the blank. What characters were you trying to
convey here? I wasn't aware that my emailer was messing things up. It is
the mutt emailer.

Those are supposed to be ellipses of the horizontal and vertical kind to
the effect that you perceived them to be (as ?, though).  Anyway, you
can compile mutt with unicode support.  You need to enable unicode
support in ncurses as well.  Anyway, it doesn't matter much I suppose,
but I guess it's another one of those problems with mutt...,

Hello,

I wonder why this table doesn't split:

--------------------------------------------------
\starttext
\showgrid
\dorecurse{3}{\input zapf \par}
\splitfloat
  [lines=4,conversion=greek]
{\placetable{sample table}}
{\starttablehead
\HL
\NC command	\NC meaning	\NC\SR
\HL
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL
\stoptabletail
\starttables[|l|l|]
\NC \tex{NC}	\NC next column	\NC\FR
\NC \tex{HL}	\NC horizontal line	\NC\MR
\NC \tex{VL}	\NC vertical line	\NC\MR
\NC \tex{NR}	\NC next row	\NC\LR
\HL
\NC \tex{SR}	\NC single row	\NC\FR
