Dear list, does context split table cells like Word (sorry for that ;-)) would do? (Please see the attached pdf examples). The table_test was generated with \starttext \bTABLE[split=yes] \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=3.5cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=11cm] \dorecurse{3}{\bTR \bTD xxx \eTD \bTD \input knuth \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext kind regards Erik

\eTABLE

\stoptext

The tabulate environment can split cells at a page break. \starttext \starttabulate[|w(3.5cm)|p|] \dorecurse{4}{\NC xxx \NC \input knuth \NC\NR} \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang

Thanks, this works quite good for me! Will the other table environments get this feature too? Erik On Tue, Jun 7, 2016 at 11:23 AM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@gmail.com> wrote:

Hm, our http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview mentions TABLE’s split=yes and linetable’s splitting. I know at least the first works (even if not always like I’d expect). I don’t know if linetables are working at all any more. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

As far as I experienced, it does split the table, but only at row borders. Not within a row, as the word example. Tabulate does this kind of splitting. For my usecase, this was enough, though the other table environments have some goodies which the tabulate environment misses ... (But maybe these features - e.g. combining cells - are the reason why the splitting of cells doesn't work ...) regards Erik On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 5:24 AM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:
