I am trying to typeset a simple table with very tight spacing. The first column of the table is wider than the others with a mysterious amount of extra space added on the left. You can reproduce this with a simple example: \starttext \starttable[|s1l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|] \HL \VL4\NC 1\NC 7\VL\AR \VL6\NC 3\NC 2\VL\AR \VL9\NC 5\NC 8\VL\LR \HL \HL \stoptable \stoptext I assume the problem is that I don't understand the "s1" declaring the amount of space for the cells. Reading through the docs (which have examples of tables but not a lot of introductory material), I haven't been able to find a way to remove the extra left-hand space while leaving the spacing of the remaining cells the same. --- Also a quick note, I have spent the last month converting to ConTeXt from my previous background in LaTeX and have really been amazed. I'm currently typesetting a new journal, aimed at computer programmers ( http://codequarterly.com/) and I was very quickly able to get my otf fonts working, format complicated documents, and create reusable named styles. If we're happy users of ConTeXt, what is the best way to give back to the community? Blog posts talking about it? Documentation? Conferences? Thanks, Adam Solove
