Re: [NTG-context] xtable in def or setups

18 May 2021

      Hi Adam,
no, I hadn't tried that -
even tough I had skimmed over that part way back, it now escaped me.

    \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
    \ignorespaces
    *\startembeddedxtable[icbtable]*
    \startxrow
    \startxcell[width=17mm]
    \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
    \stopxcell
    \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    *\stopembeddedxtable*
    \removeunwantedspaces
    }

that did the job.

Thanks a lot Adam!
Cheers, W

Hi Werner,
Did you try startembeddedxtable ?
See Section 5 in the manual
(https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create an xtable from within a \def (or within a
    \setups)
    but always run into "runaway error: end of file encountered"
    whenever the xtable-commands are in there.
\definextable[icbtable]
        \setupxtable[icbtable]
        [frame=off,
        top=\vskip7mm]
        \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
        \ignorespaces
        \startxtable[icbtable]
        \startxrow
        \startxcell[width=17mm]
        \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
        \stopxcell
        \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \stopxtable
        \removeunwantedspaces
        }
Is this simply not possible or am I doing something wrong there?
