Hi!

How do I use a natural table to produce a table which is both: - distributed across multiple pages (split=yes) and - centered horizontally on each page.

I did try the following but it only works if split=no.

\starttext \startalignment[middle]\dontleavehmode% \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH Thing \eTH\bTH Desc \eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{\bTR\bTD Foo \eTD\bTD Text. \eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopalignment \stoptext

Thank you for any help.

You have to use the float mechanism. To disable the caption and number you can use the “none” keyword and to split the table at page breaks use the “split” keyword. There is no need to set “split=yes” for the table unless you want to repeat the header which requires “split=repeat”. \starttext \startplacetable[location={none,split}] \bTABLE%[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH Thing \eTH\bTH Desc \eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{\bTR\bTD Foo \eTD\bTD Text. \eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopplacetable \stoptext Wolfgang
