TABLE not splitting across page boundary
Hey list, I am having difficulty getting my table to split across page boundaries. It doesn't have, nor need, headers, but just individual unrelated rows. Here is a minimal illustrating the problem I am having: \starttext Here is some text. \placetable[force,nonumber,right]{} { \bTABLE[width=0.25\textwidth,split=yes] \setupTABLE[column][1] [align={middle,lohi}, style=\bfxx, width=2.3cm] \setupTABLE[column][2] [align=flushleft, option=stretch] \setupTABLE[each][each] [style=\tfxx] \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{100}{ \bTR \bTC body \eTC \bTC body \eTC \eTR } \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \stoptext -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks Hans. That works for splitting the table, but text no longer wraps around it properly anymore. The table is aligned on the right side of the page, and splits at a page boundary as requested, but the rest of the page is blank on its left with body text only above and below it. \input knuth \placetable[nonumber,right,split,4*hang]{} { \bTABLE[width=0.25\textwidth] \setupTABLE[column][1] [align={middle,lohi}, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_table_row_even, style=\bfxx, width=2.3cm] \setupTABLE[column][2] [align=flushleft, option=stretch, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_table_row_odd] \setupTABLE[each][each] [style=\tfxx] \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTC Stuff \eTC \bTC Stuff \eTC \eTR ... \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \input knuth -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

indeed. that kind of wrapping does not work for successive (split) floats
\input knuth
\placetable[nonumber,right,split,4*hang]{} { \bTABLE[width=0.25\textwidth] \setupTABLE[column][1] [align={middle,lohi}, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_table_row_even, style=\bfxx, width=2.3cm] \setupTABLE[column][2] [align=flushleft, option=stretch, background=color, backgroundcolor=colour_table_row_odd] \setupTABLE[each][each] [style=\tfxx]
\bTABLEbody
\bTR \bTC Stuff \eTC \bTC Stuff \eTC \eTR
... \eTABLEbody
\eTABLE }
\input knuth

Suggestions? All I need is the table on the right side, text flowing around it, and if the table is too long, to split across page boundaries. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
