Dear list, motivated by https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/455484 I was trying to split a long float across several pages. It also works but instead of the caption I see “there is nothing to split” at the end of the listing. The source file documentation of \splitfloat suggests that this is intended for tabular material. Is is possible to split other material as well? Cheers, Henri --- \definefloat[listing] \starttext \startplacelisting[title={math.h},location=split] \typefile{/usr/include/math.h} \stopplacelisting \stoptext

A splitter has to talk to the split mechanism ... % goes into cont-new.mkiv \unprotect \def\handlesplittext#1% {\setbox\tsplitresult\vbox {\vsplit\tsplitcontent to \dimexpr#1-\lineheight\relax}} \unexpanded\def\startsplittext {\begingroup \resettsplit \let\tsplitminimumfreelines\!!zerocount \let\tsplitminimumfreespace\!!zeropoint \let\extrasplitfloatlines \!!plusone \let\tsplitdirectsplitter \handlesplittext \setbox\tsplitcontent\vbox\bgroup \insidefloattrue} \unexpanded\def\stopsplittext {\egroup \handledirecttsplit \endgroup} \protect \usemodule[scite] \setupbodyfont[dejavu,8pt] \starttext \splitfloat {\placefigure{some caption}} {\startsplittext \typefile[option=TEX,before=,after=]{oeps.tex} \stopsplittext} \stoptext
