Is there an option in algorithm2e to split the algorithm over several pages? Please no answer with "use algorithmic or listings packages". algorithm2e is the best package for algorithms in latex, so I want to get it running with this package.

“algorithm2e is the best package for algorithms in latex” – actually, no; it’s definitely not. algorithmicx (note the trailing “x”!) is far superior – Konrad Rudolph May 24 '11 at 14:00
Also a package which has "2e" in its name to indicate that it is for LaTeX2e and not for LaTeX2.x gives me the impression that it is rather old. (@Konrad) – Martin Scharrer♦ May 24 '11 at 14:28

From the algorithm2e documentation:

Caution: algorithms cannot be cut

You could use instead the algorithmicx package which offers you improved functionality and offers the possibility of breaking long algorithms (see Section 2.6 Breaking up long algorithms of the package documentation).

Thanks all, I've got it working with algorithmicx. – Ares May 24 '11 at 14:42
