[cl-typesetting-devel] Multi-page tables and layout

[Dmitri Ivanov]

Sorry about previously posting to the wrong list.

| Hello,
| 
| I am on my way to split a table automatically and want your opinion. My
| approach is to put separate rows into a vbox. Do you think this is the 
| right direction?
| 
| What was the intention of the splitable-p slot in the table-row class?
| 
| The weak point is that we don't have the position of the last item
| stroked into the page at our disposal. Is it possible for
| make-filled-vbox to return a dy-left or dy-allocated value indicating
| how much vertical space was actually used?
| 
| We do need a kind of top-level layout staff akin to DefDoc. Its unit
| conversion module could also be of value.
