Hi!

Thanks for your rapid answer.

Thanks Wolfgang, in the example you did send me I overlooked the difference between the title line and the rest.

Thanks also for the explanation about right and left.

Hi!

I have the following program:

------------------------

\definecolor [tableheader] [x=00ADEF]

\setupbodyfont[dejavu,10pt,ss]

% setups and example thanks to Wolfgang Schuster

\startsetups[tablesettings]

\setupTABLE[start][framecolor=gray,loffset=.5ex,roffset=.5ex]

\setupTABLE[row][first][background=color,backgroundcolor=tableheader,foregroundcolor=white]

\setupTABLE[first][first][corner=08]

\setupTABLE[last][first][corner=05]

\setupTABLE[first][last][corner=07]

\setupTABLE[last][last][corner=06]

\stopsetups

\starttext

{\bf Singular}

\setupTABLE[c][1,2,3][width=5cm]

\placetable[none][]{}{

\bTABLE[setups=tablesettings]

\bTR \bTH Pronoun \eTH \bTH Particle \eTH \bTH Noun \eTH \eTR

\bTR \bTH Mimi/Wewe/Yeye \eTH \bTH ni \eTH \bTH Mtanzania/Mmarekani /Mkenya \eTH \eTR

\bTR \bTH {\sl I/You/He or She} \eTH \bTH {\sl am/are/is} \eTH \bTH {\sl (a/an) Tanzanian/American/Kenyan} \eTH \eTR

\input zapf

\stoptext

------------------------

I do not understand why the lines in Swahilli are in bold?

Use \bTD ... \eTD for the cells. The \bTH ... \eTH pair is for header lines and changes the style to bold.

If for the table I use \setupTABLE[c]1,2,3][width= 5cm, align=left] the texts are aligned to the right, if I say align=right they are to the left. OK to have left alignment the align instruction is not necessary, but for right?
