Hi,
when you use extreme tables without a float environment but repeat the header the table always starts on a new page.
%%%% begin example \starttext
\samplefile{weisman}
\blank
\startxtable[header=repeat,split=repeat] \startxtablehead \startxrow \startxcell Table head \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablehead [...]
I use
\starttext \startxtable [split=repeat,header=repeat,footer=repeat] \startbuffer [header] ... \stopbuffer [...] without a float environment, and I do NOT get a spurious page break, so I do not understand what is happening in your sample above. Is it the \break (as you suggest)?
Alan, I’m afraid that the spurious pagebreak comes when you have text before the xtable and the xtable has to be split in pages. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
