Hi everybody,
In writing a glossary of building terms (approx. 400 entries) in a natural TABLE.
For each letter, A, B, C, I want a screen background, spanning on 2 colomns, with \bf style, etc. : this leads to a rather long definition that I don't wish to copy on each new letter row, so I made a little macro to recall this setup.
This system is not working yet, so i beg your help, TIA for any answer
%%% \setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\def\Rowa#1{nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,style=\bf, frame=off,align={middle,lohi}{#1}}
\bTABLE[frame=off,width=broad,split=yes] \setupTABLE[column][1][style=\bf,align={right,lohi},width=3cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][style=\tf,align={lohi}]
you can say odd/even etc instead of 1,3,5
Thinking about a feature request: I very frequentely set every third (3,6,9,...) row with gray background to make wide tables well-arranged. I did it by a loop or with a script that generates data. Some 'everythird' equivalent to 'even' or 'odd' would be more strightforward. Vit
