Re: [NTG-context] TEXpage does not fit \placetable & \recurselevel always zero

Dear list,
thank you very much for the help so far.
I have two problems understanding the output of the code below. I am using version 2021.02.23 17:47.
(1) The TEXpage is cut off after ~40 lines. Normally, the page is extended to fit its content. It's probably related to \placetable which I only use here because I need a centered table. I can set the height of the page manually, but the whole purpose of using TEXpage was to avoid that.
(2) \recurselevel is always zero in the output. Normally, it counts the iterations. This issue is not relevant for my actual use-case, but I found that when writing the MWE.
Best wishes,
Jacob Kauffmann
\setupTEXpage[width=10cm]
\startTEXpage
\placetable[force,none]{}{%
\starttabulate[|c|c|]
\NC A \NC B \NC\NR
\HL
\dorecurse{50}{\NC \expanded{\recurselevel} \NC \recurselevel \NC\NR}
\stoptabulate
}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
\startTEXpage[strut=no,offset=10pt]
     \starttabulate[|c|c|c|c|c|]
         \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC \NR
         \HL
         \dorecurse{50}{\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC\NR}
     \stoptabulate
\stopTEXpage
works ok here upto

\starttext
     \startTEXpage[strut=no,offset=10pt]
         \starttabulate[|c|c|c|c|c|]
             \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NC E \NC \NR
             \HL
             \dorecurse{1128}{\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC ##1\NC\NR}
         \stoptabulate
     \stopTEXpage
\stoptext

but you need a special printer for that anyway

(don't use a place command inside a TEXpage)
