[NTG-context] Split numbers in natural tables

21 Aug 2015

      Hi,

I have a simple script in mako templates which generate this table:

\starttext
\bTABLE[align={lohi,middle}]

\eTABLE
\stoptext

How can I do for, automatically, split the number in the cells? That is, I want the numbers to fit all the cell size, not matter what return carriages it needs.

So some thing like   \bTD[width=2.8cm, height=2.8cm] 4611686018427387904 \eTD  would be transformed into:

   \bTD[width=2.8cm, height=2.8cm] 4611

686018427

387904 \eTD 

or something similar.

Thanks,
Xan
