I still rely in all my installations on this bit at the bottom to be in cont-new.mkxl. Is there a way to make this patch update-safe?
There are comments in ./tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl:
%D This file is loaded at runtime, thereby providing an excellent place for hacks, %D patches, extensions and new features. There can be local overloads in cont-loc %D (which has always been the case) and experimental code in cont-exp (which is also %D so old that I need to remind myself to check it occasionally, so here is the %D reminder).
I tried the mentioned local overload methods but didn't get them to work. Did I mess up somehow or is the comment above outdated? Are there any better ways - update-safe though?
Thanks a lot, Werner

You can put this on cont-new.mkxl as test:
\unprotect
\defcsname\??xtableflushsplit\v!repeat\endcsname {\doloop {\clf_x_table_flush method {\v!split}% height \ifdim\pagegoal=\maxdimen\textheight\else\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal\relax\fi \relax \ifcase\c_tabl_x_state \exitloop \else \page \fi}}
\protect cont-new will be overwritten so when you put a patch in there you need to check a next upload if that patch is permanent
you can also put patched in a cont-loc file (make sure that you run mtxrun --generate after making one) and out that file in your texmf-local tree (or project tree) as these will not be replaced you can wrap such a patch in: \ifcsname\??xtableflushsplit\v!repeat\endcsname \else \fi to make sure that it's not overloading something built in Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
