All - I have a simple table which looks like this:
skipped some code
I would like to add a background color to the first row only. Try this minimal example (tested on live.contextgarden.net):
\starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \placetable[here]{none} \starttable[|c w(3.0cm)|c|c w(2.75cm)|c w(7.0cm)|] \HL \CL[green]\AR \VL \bf Name \VL \bf Location \VL \bf Date \VL \bf Signature \VL \AR \HL \VL \VL \VL \VL \VL \AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext
I have only just started using ConTeXT, never used TeX or LaTeX before, so I'm still trying to understand everything I read in the manuals, and searching the list archive. I can not seem to make the more HTML-ish tables work the way I want (e.g, \bTABLE...\eTABLE) so I'd like to be able to get where I want to go using the table I have.
