....just some further tests. i was wrong, as there is no table breaking without the \placetable[split] option. seems my command reference is outdated :(
if you don't use \placetable at all, things work again. so there must be some vspace mess with the splitting option of placetable and the one of TABLE. adding \blank[line,medium,force] or some other forced blank in front of the table should help to get the correct offset to the text.
what a mess...
as said ... the problem is that we need to know what place is available and there is no robust way to determine this ... esp when we're around a potential pagebreak i can look into it when i have enough examples (a bit busy now so i cannot give it priority) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
