Hi, I must set two-page tables. The top row contains headings for the columns 2 to 4. The left column contains the hours of the day (01:00, 02:00 ... 24:00). The overall width is textwidth. Which sort of tables is siutable for this purpose? So far my endeavours deliver many errors. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de
Another try: If I expand the example of tables in wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables beyond one page, there is no pagebreak, but the table continues at the bottom. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Hi Gerhard, can you post a minimum example of your problem, because I can't find a solution only with your current describtion. Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, I have modified the wiki-example only slightly in appendix 1. Appendix 2 is the log-file. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Hi Gerhard, I have at the moment no ConTeXt where I can test your example file but you should try to change the first line of your float from \placetable[here]... to \placetable[here,split]... I hope it works for you and I also try to run your file till tomorrow. Wolfgang

I ran it here (ver: 2006.10.05). With just \placetable[here], it doesn't split. With \placetable[here,split], it splits it into two parts with Table 1.a on one page and Table 1.b on the other page. The "Obertext zum Ganzen" is only on the first page, which is what the .tex code should do (but maybe you wanted it repeated at the top of each split page?). -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

With my version (of Debian sarge) this option (split) has no influence. I get one page. I guess I must install a new version of ConteXt (texexec). Till now I install all my software with apt-get. Do I have to install texexec directly now?

It is not necessary to repeat this row on each page. But here it is repeated automatically at the buttom margin (see appendix). My dvi-file is created with the split option. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Hi Gerhard, I looked into your log file and it shows ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2006.1.23 int: english mes: english It's an ancient ConTeXt version, you need to uprade your ConTeXt version first to get a splittet table. You should download the latest stable version from pragma. If you want a repeated header on every page try to put \setuptables[split=repeat] into your document. With new versions from ConTeXt you do no longer the \starttables ... \stoptables command. Hans changed it to control table splitting completely with split-option in \setuptables and makes to let the normal \starttable-environment split when neccessary. You should look at the wiki how to upgrade your TeX-distribution. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation Wolfgang

In my private system I now have apgraded to Debian Etch. I hope it is sufficient. I'm hesitating to upgrade in my office because Debian Etch is in an unstable stage. I am not used to upgrade single packages besides the system.

Where are the definitions of the columns and their width in this case? Is there a brief docu and an example of this version of tables?

Is there no longer a starttables but simply a starttable initialisation? And a last question: Why is there a \start - \stop in the example at the Wiki side? Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

updating context is not that much related to debian; - make sure that you have the latest latin modern fonts installed (can be fetched from ctan) - then unzip the context zip in some local tree - make sure that the stubs are ok (there are stubs in the zip) the only debian specific thing (i guess) is the pdftex binary and context should adapt to that automatically

often in the file (in this case core-tab) ; you can still use the plural commands, but splitting is no longer dependent on them

similar key/val's in setuptables|setuptabulate|setupTABLE

Thanks Hans, in the point of installing upon a given distribution I am a DAU. On Mon, Oct 16, 2006 at 10:02:40PM +0200, Hans Hagen wrote:

I have downloaded a complete directory of lm with ec-lmb10.tfm etc from tug.ctan.org.
- then unzip the context zip in some local tree
I have downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped it to dirs from bibtex to web2c.
- make sure that the stubs are ok (there are stubs in the zip)
I don't know stubs. Now, where can I install to with which script? Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

They are there. Now I have tried to install locally as written in wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation But at the end my system finds only the old version. /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf is edited update-texmf is executed. I am a little helpless. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de
