Fyi: context has a built-in way of saying “lots of”, it’s called “\dorecurse”; have look at syst-aux.mkiv for loops &c.

all works fine

but when I add:

\placetable[here][tab:five]{Descriptive Statistics for Salaried Men \& Women} {

in order to get reference, caption I lose the split and so the tables just runs OFF the end of the page

Placetable takes an optional arg “split”: ···8<···························································· \startbuffer \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Group \eTH \bTH N \eTH \bTH MEAN \eTH \bTH STD \eTH \bTH MIN \eTH \bTH MAX \eTH \bTH Gini \eTH \bTH 80/20 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTC[nc=8] 1980 \eTC \eTR \dorecurse{100}{\bTR \dorecurse{8}{\bTC text \eTC} \eTR} \eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTC[nc=8]*\$=New Taiwan Dollars \eTC \eTR \eTABLEfoot \eTABLE \stopbuffer \starttext \placetable[here,split][tab:five]{Salary Stats}{\getbuffer} \stoptext ···8<···························································· Regards, Philipp PS: What table module are you referring to? This seems to be a standard natural table.

suggestions PLEASE
