I have a 5-page table placed using

\setupcaption [table] [way=bytext,prefixsegments=none] \placetable[split]{My long table}{...}

The caption for the first table page is "Table 1a My Long table"; for the second table page it is "Table 1b My long table" and so on. I'd like to change these to be "Table 1 My Long table" then "Table 1 (cont'd) My long table" for the remaining pages.

I've tried \setupcaption[table][suffix={(cont'd)] but that affects all the pages. How can I set it for the second and subsequent pages only, please? The solution turned out to be really simple (for small tables at least - less fun if you have hundreds of pages!). Just use:

\defineconversion[Contd][~,{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)}, { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)}, { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)}, { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)} ] \setupfloatsplitting[conversion=Contd]

This results in "Table 1 My Long table", "Table 1 (cont’d) My Long table" and so on.

There is already a conversion for this numbering style. \setuplabeltext [en] [continued={ (cont’d)}] \setupfloatsplitting [conversion=continued] Wolfgang
