Hello Wizards,
my multi page (and multicolumn) table exceeds the last page by 2 rows.
Is there a way to make last column a bit longer? Here is a minimal
example:
The underlying problem is that you have to enlarge the height of
page 2. I don't know how that is 'normally' done, but perhaps it
gives someone else a hint ?
Answer to my own question:
Question:
Imagine a table (\bTABLE) spanning several pages. Moreover the table
is inside multicolumn (\startcolumn). How to make some column longer
(having more rows in some column)? (Column height is given by page height.)
Solution:
1. Make page heigher (as high as the highest column) on every page where
the table is:
\setuplayout[lines=..]
2. Insert blank rows to appropriate table places to fill the columns:
\dorecurse{..}{\bTR\bTD\strut\eTD\eTR}
Remarks:
1. \adaptlayout{page}{height=+...} has limited capability of making page
heigher (not overcomes footer) so \setuplayout is more flexible.
2. Forsing column break by
\bTR[after=\column]\bTD...\eTD\eTR
works but add some spurious space on the top of next column. I was
not able to remove it even experimenting with my own
\installcolumnbreakhandler {MUL} {forse} {...}
and using
\bTR[after={\columnbreak[forse]}]\bTD...\eTD\eTR
Spurious space demonstration:
--------------
\startbuffer[table]
\bTABLE[split=yes]
\dorecurse{20}{\bTR\bTD cell #1\eTD\eTR}
\bTR[after={\columnbreak[yes]}]\bTD between \eTD\eTR
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD cell #1\eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startcolumns
\getbuffer[table]
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
