There are some issues with linetables. In the current version: 2012.04.07 14:42 linetables don't compile at all, example:
\starttext \setuplinetable [n=2] \startlinetable \NC \input knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \NC \input knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \stoplinetable \stoptext
the \dostoptatributes can go (a leftover from mkii)
Given the context version 2011.05.18 18:04 there seems to be a bug in linetables; the lines are not aligned when the columns are distributed on several pages and the lines don't fall on the same page. One-page linetables work fine. Example:
\setuplinetable [n=2] \starttext
\startbuffer \startlinetable \NC \input knuth \NC \input ward \NC\NR \NC \bf\input ward \NC \bf\input knuth \NC\NR \stoplinetable \stopbuffer
% linetable on one single page \setuplinetable [c][1] [width=.5\textwidth] \setuplinetable [c][2] [width=.5\textwidth] \getbuffer
\page
% linetable streched over two pages \setuplinetable [c][1] [width=\textwidth] \setuplinetable [c][2] [width=\textwidth] \getbuffer
\stoptext
there is no width checking linetables were written for a specific project and never completed to be more multi-purpose adding some support for the height alignment is not too complex (although I would probably write the code from scratch) but is not on the agenda for now (maybe when I need it or when I've finished cleaning up the other code) (maybe I will extend xtable with horizontal splitting) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
