[NTG-context] xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise operations

5 Jan 2018

      Dear list,

The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with rowwise, columnwise,
or cellwise setups.  For example:

\starttext

\setupTABLE [frame=off]
\setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]
\setupTABLE [c] [2]     [style=italic]
\setupTABLE [2] [3]     [color=red]
\setupTABLE [r] [last]  [bottomframe=on]
\startTABLE
  \NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR
  \NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR
  \NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR
  \NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR
  \NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR
\stopTABLE

\stoptext

How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables?  If it is not yet possible I'd like to request the
inclusion of such a mechanism.

Cheers, Henri
