Re: [NTG-context] how to reuse float numbers?

The guidelines specify that captions for code which is longer than one page or crosses page boundaries should be reprinted and the title changed to (continued).

example:

Program Segment 1.1: Hello World #include main() {

...on next page...

Program Segment 1.1: (continued) printf("hello world!\n"); }

Thanks to Wolfgang's help the splitting problem is solved. However, after the float is split, the captions get extra numbers (1.1.A, 1.1.B, etc).

I tried to "solve" this by using \setupfloatsplitting[conversions=...] but even if I defined a conversion that prints nothing, the caption would look like "Program Segment 1.1." (the final separator is still printed).

Hi William, use \setupfloatsplitting[conversions=numbers] and \setupcaptions[way=bytext] The 1.1 is the normal float numbering, the 1, b, ... are the numbers of every part of the splitted float.

I suppose a better way would be to override the command that makes the captions (\setupcaption[ProgramSegment][command=...]) so that it prints the real caption text in the first part, and "(continued)" in the next parts. However, I've searched the mailing list archive and I can't find an example on what to put inside the command.

This seems to be not supported but you can try to look into core-tsp.tex, the module where float splitting is implemented.

Can someone give me a clue as to what I should put inside the command or maybe someone will have a better idea (maybe using \setupfloatsplitting[inbetween=...])?

I've attached a slightly modified version of Wolfgang's document (I added a conversion for the setupfloatsplitting).

Thanks, William.
