[NTG-context] Table head/body via lua

18 Aug 2023

      Hi,

I am trying to generate a table representation for some xml source.
As the data structure doesn't directly correspond to the desired table
structure, some manipulations via lua are required. So far everything
works OK except table sectioning commands, like \bTABLEhead,
\eTABLEhead, bTABLEbody or \eTABLEbody: it seems impossible to
incapsulate them into lua functions. For example, the following is not
compiled:

\starttext
\bTABLE
\ctxlua{context.bTABLEbody()}
\bTR
\bTD Cell 1\eTD
\bTD Cell 2\eTD
\eTR
\ctxlua{context.eTABLEbody()}
\eTABLE
\stoptext

Can anybody suggest a workaround (except changing the source XML of
course)?
