In latex it doesn't work. Latex says that \settabs is undefined. Does anyone know why?
Yes, that's because \settabs is not a TeX primitive and is defined in plain.tex (line 602, \def\settabs{\setbox\tabs\null \futurelet\next\sett@b}). In LaTeX I guess you want to look into the tabbing environment, or the more high-level tabular sort of things. ConTeXt takes over most of the Plain TeX macros; that's why it's defined here and not in LaTeX. Arthur
