I am trying to convert to ConTeXt and I have a text with a lot of truth tables using a \ttable and \xttable command I defined. I ported these to ConTeXt but I can't get the \parbox -> \framed to work. % Example document with truth tables starts here \usemodule[bib] % defines \newcommand \newcommand{\operand}[1]{{\sc #1}} \newcommand{\ttvalue}[1]{{\sc #1}} \newcommand{\xttable}[7]{\starttable[|c|c|c|]\HL % #1 \NC #2 \NC #1 \operand{#3} #2 \SR\HL \ttvalue{false} \NC \ttvalue{false} \NC \ttvalue{#4} \FR % \ttvalue{false} \NC \ttvalue{true} \NC \ttvalue{#5} \MR % \ttvalue{true} \NC \ttvalue{false} \NC \ttvalue{#6} \MR % \ttvalue{true} \NC \ttvalue{true} \NC \ttvalue{#7} \LR\HL % \stoptable} \newcommand{\ttable}[5]{\xttable{a}{b}{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}} \starttext Looks fine:\blank \midaligned{% \xttable{Statement X}{Statement Y}{$\Rightarrow$}% {unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)} } This doesn't work:\blank \midaligned{% \xttable{Some sort of longer statement}{Another sort of longer statement}% {$\Rightarrow$}% {unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)} } This doesn't work either:\blank \midaligned{% \xttable{\framed[width=2cm,frame=off]{Some sort of longer statement\par}}{\framed[width=2cm,frame=off]{Another sort of longer statement\par}}{$\Rightarrow$}% {unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)} } \stoptext
