Hello, I have a complicated TABLE, but I simplified it to the following example: ---- \def\DoTable#1{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=2cm] \setupTABLE[column][#1][align=flushright] % ....................................................... [1] \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % Settings for ALL columns in the row 1 should be overwritten ... [2] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH a\eTH \bTH b\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext No column specification: \DoTable{} With column specification: \DoTable{2} \stoptext ---- The problem is that row #1 should be mid-aligned in all columns. So I wrote: ---- \setupTABLE[column][2][align=flushright] % Column #2 has its own alignment... \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % ... but overwrite here for the whole row #1 (including column #2) ---- But column #2 keeps the previously assigned alignment. The situation doesn't change even if I swap [1] and [2] (for the case "the earlier setting, the higher priority"). Moreover, if the column number if not specified (\DoTable{}), the row setting overwrites setting for ALL columns; so only if the column is specified precisely, its setting is kept. So how to overwrite row #1 setting globally? And how setting priorities are evaluated? I guessed the later specification, the higher weight (which would allow overwriting)... Note that in the example it would be possible to specify settings for each row/column, but it not useful way in the case of more/very complicated tables. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
