how to format long algorithm in algorithm2e package?

[neoro...@gmail.com]

hi,

I recently met a problem when i was writing a long algorithm with
algorithm2e package. Basicly the algorithm is just too long and
apparently there is no way i can compress it into one page. I tried
write it without using algorithm2e, but I really like the features,
like vlines, provided by algorithm2e package.

is it possible to split it into two or more pages and still keep it as
one whole algorithm such that I can use features of algorithm2e
package?

Thanks a lot.

I see that you have already tried to use algorithms, but the comments
apparently didn't help you.

If you want to cut some extra vertical space with algorithms, you may
avoid the "end if", "end for" constructs without the fear of loosing
readability if you increase the indentation of blocks of commands (this
is currently an undocumented feature of the package, but this will be
soon exposed to the general public in a pending release).

Would it be a big problem if you split the algorithm into smaller (sub-)
algorithms? This may help your readers, depending on the complexity of
the algorithm you are trying to present.

Hope this helps, Rogério.
