Hello, it would be very kind if someone could answer the following questions about the possibilities of TABLE: - there some semi-automatic way of splitting tables on multiple pages if those tables are in landscape mode (which I achieve by putting them into a \rotating{}-Command)? - How do I add a caption to (portrait) multipage TABLEs? \placefigure obviously doesn't work. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Karsten, I hope to be able to give at least partial answers Instead of using a \framed construct I would suggest to use a background: \setupbackgrounds[text][state=repeat,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8] bTABLE breaks over pages if you use [split=repeat] together with a\ bTABLEhead...\eTABLEhead. Using the \rotate command prevents breaking, Possibly you better use \setuppapersize[a4,landscape][a4,landscape], which of course rotates the whole layout including headers and footers. I am afraid, that once you include the table into a \placefigure environment, breaking is prevented. I was able to break a long table with a merged cell as you have it in the first column. However there is possibly a bug, because this column has no "bottomframe". In order to place the "LOW TECH" text correctly you might use a \framed command within the table \bTD[nr=7,align=lohi] \rotate[rotation=90]{\framed[frame=off, offset=.5em,align=center,width=3cm]{Low Tech}}\eTD AFAIK \placetable or \placefigure accepts a single caption only and will not break over pages.

Hi Willi, sorry for the late reply, was a bit ill Willi Egger wrote:

I'll try that, but the frame coloring is just for debugging. My intention was to control the exact aligning of the table on the page.

I didn't think of that, I'll try it out.

Is there a way to add a caption without \placetable then?

I'll try that too. Thanks alot, Karsten -- | ~ Karsten Heymann ~ | Christian-Albrecht-Universität zu Kiel | | Fon: +49 431 880-1186 | Netzwerkteam des Ökologiezentrum | | Fax: +49 431 880-4083 | http://www.ecology.uni-kiel.de | | ----- Selbständiger EDV-Dienstleister im Auftrag des ÖZK ----- |
