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.

Maybe I was unclear, I just want to be able to recall a certain style for certain rows : the position of the rows is not regular, as in my case, it's for emphasis for each new letter (A,B,C, etc.) of glossary terms.
As this def is rather long, i just wanted to make a more readable code. So I tried to put [nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}]
in \def\Rowa#1{[nc=2,..]{#1}}
and call this def on new letter row by
%\bTR \bTD [command=\Rowa] B \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING \bTR \bTD[nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen, style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD barre \eTD \bTD \'Element de structure .. \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD barre comprim \eTD \bTD \'Eleme .. \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD [nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen, style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]C \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD [command=\Rowa] C \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING \bTR \bTD c.. \eTD \bTD ... \eTD \eTR
This is obviousluy a minor request, since i've already copied this def on each row manually.

Thanks a lot, it's working like a charm. What complex code before for getting much more simple code after, in the tables !
