Hello: I would like to place a landscape formal multi-page table in a document. I try to attach a pdf showing what I would like to achieve. The example file was made in latex using array, booktabs, lscape, and longtable packages.
I read the contextgarden wiki pages on different table packages but according
to that information none of the available table modules can be used to make
such table. Is the information up-to-date and accurate? Furthermore, how can I
insert the table in landscape mode on a portrait page (page numbers should be
portrait). I need different headers for the first and the following pages,
different footers for the last and the previous pages, rules width different
depths for start/end and middle rules.
I experimented with both Tables and TABLE modules but before I go into it more
I would like to know if it is feasible at all what I want.
This is one of the trials I made:
\defineipsum[tf][alternative=lines,n=2]
\starttext
\setupTABLE[r][first][style=\tf]
\bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch,frame=off,bottomframe=on]
\bTABLEhead
\bTR
\bTH[nc=2] This is the first page header \eTH
\eTR
\bTR
\bTH Column 1 \eTH
\bTH Column 2 \eTH
\eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEnext
\bTR
\bTH[nc=2] This is the page header (not on first page) \eTH
\eTR
\bTR
\bTH Column 1 \eTH
\bTH Column 2 \eTH
\eTR
\eTABLEnext
\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{25}{
\bTR
\bTC \ipsum[tf] \eTC
\bTC aaaa \eTC
\eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\bTABLEfoot[bottomframe=off]
\bTR
\bTC[nc=2] This is the footer \eTC
\eTR
\eTABLEfoot
\eTABLE
\stoptext
There is no separate footer, I could not get rid of the rule below the footer,
and I don't understand why the firs header is not in normal typeface instead of
bold.
Thanks in advance,
