Hi, I'm trying to typeset a parallel text that should appear in columns. The sources are XML, and there I have to use tables for this. So, I thought the easiest way is to use extreme tables for this: ========================= \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \startxtable[split=yes,frame=off] \startxrow \startxcell Text \stopxcell \startxcell Übersetzung \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \startxcell \input tufte \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext ========================= However, as it turns out, split only seems to mean that the table is split between rows, individual rows stay on the same page. Is there a better approach? I've found the page-streams, but that seems to be too much... Best, Denis
