My questions are: what is the restricted horizontal mode (as different from the horizontal mode)? I forgot to answer this. Simple explanation:

* 'restricted horizontal mode' is inside an \hbox{} or something similar like a header/footer, where line breaks are forbidden * ‘horizontal mode’ is inside a paragraph, where line breaks are possible

But the ‘restricted’ part is not relevant to your problem, \prevdepth is forbidden in horizontal mode regardless of restrictions; it is only allowed in vertical mode.

Somehow your table ends up being typeset in a horizontal context, based on the error message (at least, if we assume that the error message was triggered by a table).

But why that is? I do not have any other good ideas. And unfortunately lots of different things in ConTeXt can trigger an implicit horizontal context.

With the options "split=no" and "split=repeat" ConTeXt puts the table in a \vbox but with "split=yes" this doesn't happen. To check is this is the problem he can put the table in a float environment and disable the caption and counter. \startplacetable[location={force,none}]   \startembeddedxtable   ...   \stopembeddedxtable \stopplacetable Wolfgang
