- how do I set the spacing between a vertical line (between two columns) and the text inside that columns? I already used "framedoffest=-3pt", but the output is unacceptable.

Spacing is a weak point of natural tables. Afaik, there is no good way to tune spacing. I would try using dummy colums like \bTD[width=1em]\eTD.

OK, That sounds reasonable. I'll try that. On the other hand this means many \bTD<something>\eTD ... but one can write a macro for that, I think.

a next release will support: \input core-ntb-new.tex \starttext \showframe \setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] \setupTABLE[c][2][distance=3em] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD[nx=2] test \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \bTABLE[option=stretch] \bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD[nx=2] test \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
