Nicola 30. Mai 2016 um 17:45 I'd like to set a default background color for all the tables in my document. This is what I have tried (using the latest beta):
\setuptables[background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \starttext \starttable[|cm|] \HL \NC \bf R \NC \AR \NC A \NC \AR \HL \NC \bot \NC \AR \NC 1 \NC \AR \stoptable \stoptext
No red background, though. What am I missing?
The next step would be how to use a hatched pattern, but for now I'd be happy with a flat color. The table environment does not support backgrounds but you can use the tabulate environment.
\starttext
\defineframedcontent[nicola][frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
\setuptabulate[frame=nicola]
Thanks, it works! And it does with tables, too. From there, I think I know how to use a MetaPost pattern instead. Nicola
