Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble getting multiple page tables to work when also using \placetable for captions. Essentially, I want: (1) Captions and the ability to reference with \in[]. (2) Alignment within a cell at a decimal point. (3) Span multiple pages with header/footer. I think I would prefer to use the standard 'TABLES' method but it looks like item 2 is only supported in natural tables? Below are two examples. I don't get page breaks in either case and the table runs off the bottom of pages 2 and 3. Thanks, Randall \definepapersize [width=8.5in, height=11in] \setupcaption[table] [location=top] \starttext \section{Testing} This is a silly table test. \placetable[page][tbl:sample] {Sample table

My 'solution' would be to drop the page-spanning requirement, because that makes the rest trivial. I am not saying that it cannot be done, I just do not know. Cheers, taco

there is a page spanning mechanism (linetables); see core-ltb for more info (tables that span n * m pages) with repetition of head lines and such; a bit experimental; Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

maybe, when i'm in the mood for making a new manual -)

having a wiki page for this is fine; it may evolve in documentation in the end; the problem with line tables is that i made if for usage in a project that was eventually quit (tex lost in a word-tex) so there was no priority to finish/document it Hans
