Greetings,
I have run into an issue whilst using \start ... \stopsplittext. I intended to use it for large code listings (using the t-vim module), however floats with location=split using that environment seem to vanish if there is nearly not enough text before the float to fill a page. Not only that, a second float like that seems to lead to fatal errors related to an unclosed group, however the document compiles regardless. The following MWE is an example of this. I am using ConTeXt version 2024.05.27 18:16.
\definefloat[codelisting][codelistings]
\setupcaption[codelisting][location=top]
\setuplabeltext[english][codelisting=Listing ]
%\showboxes
\starttext
\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth
% Filler. Filler. Filler. Filler. % uncomment to push out a full page. the float will appear
\startplacecodelisting[
title=My great C program on display!,
location=split,
]
\startsplittext
\tt \input zapf
\stopsplittext
\stopplacecodelisting
\input ward
\startplacecodelisting[
title=My second great C program on display!,
location=split,
]
\startsplittext
\tt \input ward
\stopsplittext
\stoptext
On a related note, one can also observe that with specific amounts of text a float may end up being split in two on a single page, however I could not replicate it. Additionally, code listings done with t-vim's commands seem to lose line numbering within \start ... \stopsplittext in splittable floats, but I figure that's more on the module authors. In any case, is there more I can do other than not use floats for code listings?
