In the following, the longtable
is not breakable inside the solution environment. So, how to make the it respect newpage
to break the table over the two pages?
documentclass[answers]{exam}
usepackage{longtable}
usepackage{caption,booktabs,siunitx,multicol}
begin{document}
begin{questions}
question some question
begin{solution}
setlengthLTleft{0pt}
setlengthLTright{0pt}
begin{longtable}{
@{extracolsep{fill}}
lr
*{2}{%
S[table-format=2.2,
round-precision=2,round-mode=places,
round-integer-to-decimal=true]%
}@{}}
toprule
multicolumn{2}{c}{H1 and H2} & H3 & H4
midruleendhead
left & right & 78.79 & 23.45
newpage
left & right & 78.79 & 23.45
bottomrule
end{longtable}
end{solution}
end{questions}
end{document}
it doesn't seem related to longtable, a simple solution of
aaa
pagebreak
bbb
the page break is similarly ignored. The solution is set in a box and it seems the class does not always unbox it to allow page breaks.
As a pointer to a possible solution this version (just added a vspace) breaks but has a probably unwanted long white block at the end.

bottomrule
end{longtable}
vspace{textheight}
end{solution}
end{questions}
end{document}
Note if you use longtable in a box you can usually get breaking to work but the head and foot will never be added so the lack of a table head on the second page is expected here (and not really fixable using longtable)
