[NTG-context] Fwd: local footnote (Tables) problem

23 Nov 2009

      I apologize to the list for the second message. My keyboard and trackpad have gone sticky and unpredictable, and I misfired.

The message below (the first message) is the one that I wanted to send. Please ignore the second.

Wolfgang—
I have switched the minimal example to tabulate. The problem is that this entails little progress because I can find no documentation that explains
(a) how to format (e.g., center) the content of specific cells---\REF does not seem to work any more.
(b) how to get weighted rules---\HL[3] no longer works
(c) how to avoid getting the label for the table on the first page
(d) how to get a decent page break.
I have checked Hans' MAPs article as we all as the wiki. There is reference to a new tabulate module that you were working on, but the link goes nowhere.
I can work around (a) and (b) if I have to, but (c) and (d) are crucial.

it seems that TaBlE does not support splitting p() columns and
(iirc) TABLE does.
TABLE doesn't (each cell is a \framed) but tabulate does
