Customize text on every page for long tables

Customize text on every page for long tables

I have a long table that takes multiple pages. And my university requires that it shows some text like `Continued on next page` on each page.
I find
`https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/637517/how-do-i-get-my-latex-table-to-continue-on-the-next-page`, and learn to use `\endhead` to specify rows to appear at the top of every page (under the headline, but before the other lines of the table).

My question is how can I customize the `\endhead` and `\endfoot` part.
I checked the lua filter manual. The Table element seems have no such properties.

If I understand the longtable documentation correctly you'll have to modify
Pandoc's LaTeX output manually, i.e. instead of letting pandoc handle the
LaTeX → PDF step behind the scene you must convert Markdown to a LaTeX file:

``` shell
pandoc document.md -o document.ltx
```

then open the LaTeX file and look for where it says something like

``` latex
\begin{longtable}[]{@{}ll@{}}
\caption{My caption text}\tabularnewline
\toprule()
dolores & culpa \\
\midrule()
\endfirsthead
\toprule()
dolores & culpa \\
\midrule()
\endhead
```

(Typially you would search for the caption text. If that contains lots of
formatting you may want to insert some unique "word" into the caption in
the Markdown source, search for that in the LaTeX source and then delete it
in the LaTeX source.)

and insert

``` latex
\caption[]{(Continued from previous page)}\tabularnewline
```

just below `\endfirsthead`.

then do

``` shell
xelatex document.ltx
```

substituting your LaTeX engine of choice for `xelatex`.

Disclaimer: I don't have any texlive installation to hand to test this on
ATM because I'm 40 km from my laptop. Also it is ages since I needed to do
anything like this manually and I don't remember how I did it. This is my
best shot ATM. Please let me know how it goes!
