> On of the things I need to do for the manual about ConTeXt is a list of the most frequently used commands. I am using some macros to display them correctly in a table. Attached a strange effect I got. The second row is displayed wrongly. The third is the same row, but with a \crlf added. This displays correctly. But I am wondering why it is needed.

Use “align=right” for the first column.

I changed:
    \setupTABLE[c][1][width=.35\textwidth]

into:

    \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right, width=.35\textwidth]

But it does not change anything. (It is the right place I think, because when using left, or center the formatting changes. But not in a way that is satisfactory. With center the text stays in the box, but not with left and right.)

Also it overrides the:

    \setupTABLE[r][1][align=center, style=bold]

(The align, not the style.)

Then set the alignment with \bTD in your \StartTable command or just use normal table commands.

\startsetups mytable

  \setupTABLE[header][align=middle,style=bold]

  \setupTABLE[start][align=normal]

  \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.30\textwidth]

  \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.70\textwidth]

\stopsetups
