Most of contexts table environments process the content multiple times to get the cell width and height, as a result the loop iterator is expanded way after the loop has run and the default value 0 is used. To avoid this you can access the value with #1 (or ##1, ####1 etc. in nested loops), use \expanded the expand the value (at the moment broken in lmtx) or use the \expandedrepeat primitive. \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{10}{\bTR \bTD row #1 \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE % \bTABLE % \dorecurse{10}{\bTR \expanded{\bTD row \recurselevel \eTD} \eTR} % \eTABLE \bTABLE \expandedrepeat 10 {\bTR \bTD row \the\currentloopiterator \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang
