Hi, I cannot manage to let a long table span multiple columns, and I also can't find a way to put a frame around a multicolumns piece of text. I am using tetex-3.0 on Linux: texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.4.30 mes: english Here is a sample: \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \starttable[|l|l|] \HL \NC \bf a \NC \bf b \NC\SR \HL \NC a \NC b \NC\FR \dorecurse{100}{\NC \recurselevel \NC b \NC\MR} \NC a \NC b \NC\LR \HL \stoptable \stopcolumns \startframedtext \startcolumns[n=2] \dorecurse{100}{\recurselevel } \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Subsidiary question: if \dorecurse is used to make a loop, and \recurselevel to get the current iteration, then why does it work in the framed text, but not in the table? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Guillaume
