Re: [NTG-context] table cell minimum heights -- help needed

14 Dec 2018

      Hi all,

Offlist, Wolfgang sent me a patch for \framed (which \eTD inherits from) 
that adds a minheight key, and Hans promised to add that to the next beta :)

Best wishes,
Taco

I am attempting to process html tables that are styled using css,
and I have problem with the ‘height’ property. CSS (or rather, the html browser) interprets ‘height’ as if it was a “minheight”, and
if the content does not fit, it will just enlarge the height until
it does fit.
Needless to say: I want that same functionality from the ConTeXt
table I am using to generate the PDF and not end up with text crossing row boundaries. And I cannot figure out how
to do it, as neither bTABLE’s \bTD nor xtable’s \startxcell
interpret a “minheight" parameter. And whatever I put in “height”
becomes the absolute value of the cell height. 
Did I miss something? I cannot imagine that this problem has not
come up before…
AFAIK, there is no option to do this. The closest option is `autowidth=force` for `\framed` etc. which forces `width` to behaves as `maxwidth`. It will be nice to explicitly add both minwidth/minheight and maxwidth/maxheight options to framed, etc.
