I am switching from texexec to context, and from table to tabulate. Question: What is the equivalent for \use{2}\ReFormat[c]{text} in the \table environment, when you what to do the same in the \tabulate environment? I couldn't find the answer in the context garden.

The TABLE mechanism does, though, and that is probably the mkiv standard for writing non-trivial tables. It's a bit more verbose, but it can do an enormous number of things -- including many things that the tabulate mechanism can't. Wiki link: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE The equivalent of \use{2}\ReFormat[c]{text} would be this (rest of table code added to make this example self-contained and compilable): \bTABLE \bTR \bTD[nc=2, align=center] text \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD apples \eTD \bTD oranges \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Hope this help!

The tabulate environment has no support for spanned cells.
