Ahoi! I just reviewed my german ConTeXt tutorial and tried to tell the truth about all the table modes. Please correct me if I'm wrong: * tabulate - can break over several pages - [start|stop]tabulate[head|tail] should define a repeated head/tail, but it doesn't work - documented in the manual (cont-en[i|p]) * table - cannot break - based on Wichura's TaBlE (others not) - can be used as float (others not?) - documentation commercial at pctex.com (39 $), partly docs in "ConTeXt - an excursion" (m[s|p]-cb-en) * tables - same as table, but can break over several pages - [start|stop]table[head|tail] works - nowhere documented? * TABLE - didn't try page breaks yet; should it work? - [b|e]TABLE works; should [start|stop]TABLE also? - docs: up-to-date 8 (no link on HP!), enattab * new table mode? I remember Hans wrote about a new enhanced table mode, but can't find the mail. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

* tabulate - can break over several pages - [start|stop]tabulate[head|tail] should define a repeated head/tail, but it doesn't work
works here \starttext \starttabulatehead \NC left \NC right \NC \NR \stoptabulatehead \starttabulate[|l|r|] \NC l \NC r \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext
- documented in the manual (cont-en[i|p])
- handles (multiple) paragraphs with the "p" template entry - works well with grids - supports text backgrounds
* table - cannot break - based on Wichura's TaBlE (others not) - can be used as float (others not?)
all can be used as floats
- documentation commercial at pctex.com (39 $), partly docs in "ConTeXt - an excursion" (m[s|p]-cb-en)
* tables - same as table, but can break over several pages - [start|stop]table[head|tail] works - nowhere documented?
in my still to be included chapter if the manual it is -)
* TABLE - didn't try page breaks yet; should it work?
yes, if split is set to yes
- [b|e]TABLE works; should [start|stop]TABLE also?
no, at least not yet; has to do with grabbing
- docs: up-to-date 8 (no link on HP!), enattab
* new table mode? I remember Hans wrote about a new enhanced table mode, but can't find the mail.
core-ltb: line tables, auto break vertically and horizontally across pages, repeated rows / columns, etc will be documented Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hans, This does not work for me either \starttabulatehead \NC left \NC right \NC \NR \stoptabulatehead It gives the following error This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) (format=cont-en 2003.4.28) 14 JUN 2003 19:16 ...many lines cut... !

is this a matter of stach size or do others have the same problem?

I got the same (or something similar), and I run the latest beta, that's why I wrote it wouldn't work. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ (a bit reviewed)

Hello, I am looking for documentation for tables. Is the table-chapter already published somewhere? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ ------------------------------------ Film Search site: http://f-s.sf.net/
