[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] Problems with Natural Tables]

Hello Hans, (I guess you are the only person who can specify your previous answer), so please, is the file 'core-ntb-new.tex' somewhere available? Actually what I want. I have plenty of natural tables. If I want to make closer interline space between table lines the only way I know is to make smaller value of offset param. But after that, columns are too close together (framed object as a core of natural table does not distinguish between vertical and horizontal offsets). So bellow mentioned \setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] would be nice solution. So ones more, is the new code available? Thank you in advance for the answer. Vit Hans Hagen wrote:

- 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

\showframe

\setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] \setupTABLE[c][2][distance=3em]

I was looking for core-ntb-new.tex or 'distance' in current beta core-ntb.tex but have not been successful. Please, where I can find it? Thanks Vit
