What exactly are you trying to achieve? I do not completely know all the features of digits. But table has a numerical columns n and q, see http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb29-1/tb91mahajan.pdf. There are also \HC (hook column) which can do certain things. Can you give an example of a table (placing \digit commands by hand)?
Thank you for your quick answer, Aditya. In fact, I saw this example at the end of Hans's This Way #3:
\starttext \starttabulate[|r|] \NN 1.@@ \NR \NN 1.1@ \NR \NN 1.11 \NR \NN 11.11 \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext
and I would like to get the same result replacing tabulate by table... What I like about \digits (and \NN) is that you can change the number format (english Vs french for example) without rewriting anything.
Does this do what you want? %\TracingFormats=1 \starttable[|b{\digits}r|] \NC 1.@@ \NC \AR \NC 1.1@ \NC \AR \NC 1.11 \NC \AR \NC 11.11 \NC \AR \stoptable Aditya
