Please excuse my persistence. The following is a minimal file illustrating a problem that I am having with a multipage table with local footnotes. Setting split=yes or split=repeat in \setuptables produces obviously unsatisfactory results. What I need is a multipage table that has good page divisions and puts the table's label on the last page only. I have been unable to find documentation that would help with this yet. I am using MK2 in today’s Context in the Context Minimals.

My guess is that you should be using TABLE: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE it seems that TaBlE does not support splitting p() columns and (iirc) TABLE does. Best wishes, Taco

TABLE doesn't (each cell is a \framed) but tabulate does Wolfgang

Wolfgang— Using tabulate does seem, to help: I still get odd labeling and a no page break. \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \start \setuptabulate [bodyfont=9pt, width=\textwidth, rulethickness=0.03em, distance=big, split=yes, header=repeat] \placetable [split, top,nonumber] [tab:Table03] {Table 3} {\startlocalfootnotes[conversion=character,bodyfont=9pt] \placelegend {\startframedtext[frame=off,offset=none,width=fit] \starttabulatehead \HL \NC {Column A} \NC {Column B} \NC\SR \HL \stoptabulatehead \starttabulate[|p(11.5pc)|p(11.5pc)|] \NC {1[4].341||345 [= F21.82||86]} \NC{6.29.3||4} \NC\SR \NC Text A\note[a] \NC Text B\note[b] \NC\SR \NC \input knuth \NC \NC\AR \NC \NC \input knuth \NC\AR \NC \input knuth \NC \NC\AR \stoptabulate \stopframedtext} {\footnotetext[a]{A local footnote.} \footnotetext[b]{Another local footnote.} \hskip2pc\mbox{\placelocalfootnotes} } \stoplocalfootnotes} \stop \stoptext On Nov 23, 2009, at 02;51,46 , Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Wolfgang— I have switched the minimal example to tabulate. The problem is that this entails little progress because I can find no documentation that explains (a) how to format (e.g., center) the content of specific cells---\REF does not seem to work any more. (b) how to get weighted rules---\HL[3] no longer works (c) how to avoid getting the label for the table on the first page (d) how to get a decent page break. I have checked Hans' MAPs article as we all as the wiki. There is reference to a new tabulate module that you were working on, but the link goes nowhere. I can work around (a) and (b) if I have to, but (c) and (d) are crucial.
