how can I suppress the extra line in the header of the example on contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate#Headers)? Removing header=repeat from \setuptabulate helps but I'd like to keep header repetition.
Hi Florian,
wrapping it into a “\placetable”-float seems to get rid of it
Hi Philipp,
in deed it does with \placetable[here]. I should have added that I wrapped it inside \placetable[split] to split the table over several pages. Unfortunately this messes up the header lines:
Sorry, I should have expected that. All I can say is that the stray spacing vanishes with double-line headers:
But then, the second header line vanishes on the second page. Leaving out the \HL at the end of the header would be another solution:
··8<·····························································
\starttabulatehead \HL \NC {\bf format char} \NC {\bf meaning} \NC \NR \NC {\bf format char} \NC {\bf meaning} \NC \NR \HL \stoptabulatehead
\starttabulatehead \HL \NC {\bf format char} \NC {\bf meaning} \NC \NR \stoptabulatehead
··8<·····························································
And starting \starttabulate[|r|l|] with \HL messes the header up again: \starttabulatehead \HL \NC {\bf format char} \NC {\bf meaning} \NC \NR \stoptabulatehead \placetable[split]{none}{% \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \dorecurse{20}{ \NC c \NC centered \AR \NC l \NC left aligned \AR \NC r \NC right aligned \AR \HL} \stoptabulate }
Messing around with tabl-tbl.mkiv didn’t get me any further here. Good luck, Philipp
Well, thanks for your efforts, Florian
