Hi
But I don't understand why you want to split a table over columns. You can reach this effect by using offsets (or empty columns if you use backgrounds or frames), beside from the (in my eyes) strange look. And how will you guarantee that a complete table line is horizontally aligned inside of columns (and pages)? Sounds like overkill to me ;)
I don't understand how you mean with offsets or empty columns, do you have an example? I wanted the functionality for a very narrow table in a booklet where paper economy is a great concern. It does not matter if it is horizontally aligned, a hole at the end (though ugly) might still save an entire page for other useful information. Of course it is overkill, but since every strange request on this list usually leads to a pointer to functionality implemented several years back, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask ...
Sorry, I have missed that your test table has only one column (really narrow). So offset and empty column are pretty useless. :) I thought there were 9 table columns, that should be split over the three page columns. So all depends on the exact size of your table. Can you make a minimal example? Greetings, Peter

For instance below I would like three cells in each column
\starttext \startcolumns{3} \placetable{}{ \bTABLE[split=repeat] \dorecurse{9}{\bTR\bTD ha \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \stopcolumns \stoptext
