Hans, I have been looking at core-ntb (dangerous bend for me) and I found [b|e]TABLEhead, [b|e]TABLEbody and [b|e]TABLEfoot. I then put 2 + 2 together and made 5. It doesn't work as I expected. Are Table heads and foots available? TABLEbody gives no output and TABLEhead and TABLEfoot just place themselves at the end of table (head first, foot next) rather than at the beginning and end of each column. One version of my test code is below;
\bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Head 1 \eTH \bTH Head 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTH Foot 1 \eTH \bTH Foot 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEfoot \bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{40}{\bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE
I have been looking forward to this feature for some time. If you work on it, it would be nice to have the middle table breaks to have their own heads and foots such that one can put 'continued' etc. into the table.
the following will repeat the head, \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Head 1 \eTH \bTH Head 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTH Foot 1 \eTH \bTH Foot 2 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEfoot \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{\bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD \eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE since foots often contain sums or so, they are not repeated, we could consider something \bMIDDLE \eMIDDLE but it would require some close re-reading of the source code since the available size calculation is tricky (unless we limit sucn a middle to a one liner Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
