Hello,

this example from core-ntb.tex

------------------------------------------------ \startbuffer[table3] \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \bTR[after=\page] \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer

\starttext \getbuffer[table3] \stoptext -----------------------------------------------

does not work. Here is a log from live-wiki:

(./texweb-table3.tmp ! Use of \dododecrement doesn't match its definition. \doifnextcharelse ...token =#1\def \!!stringa {#2} \def \!!stringb {#3}\futur...

\popTBL ...\intablefalse \fi \doglobal \decrement \TBLlevel \relax l.5 \eTABLE

? ! Emergency stop.

nasty one: we need to make \page test-safe

\unexpanded\def\pagebreak {\dosingleempty\dopagebreak}

I seee, OK thanks, it works. And I have to admit Taco was right with actual page height influences column splitting. I was wrong with my opinion. I was confused with 1) \adaptlayout[page][height=+3cm] increases the height only by: min(3cm,footer-height) (means UPTO footer-height) 2) there is some rounding error if setting height=(fit|middle), see ----------------------------------------------- \showframe \setuplayout[ height=fit, % or middle ] \startbuffer[table] \bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{200}{\bTR\bTD cell #1\eTD\eTR} \eTABLE \stopbuffer \starttext \startcolumns \getbuffer[table] \stopcolumns \stoptext ------------------------------------------------ Vit
