Hi all,
I am trying to use xtables in a CLD document but when I add a row, it
doesn't compile anymore. Is there something wrong? If xtables is not
usable with CLD, what is the best set of table commands to use with CLD?
% Minimum not working example :
context.starttext()
context.startxtable()
     context.startxrow()
         context.startxcell()
         context("Test")
         context.stopxcell()
     context.stopxrow()
context.stopxtable()
context.stoptext()
% end of the example.
that has to do with the fact that such a table gets buffered (it needs 
several passes)

i added an experimental trick to the next beta that makes this run ok

\starttext

\startluacode
context.startxtable()
     for i=1,30 do
         context.startxrow()
             for i=1,6 do
                 context.startxcell()
                     context.formatted.bold("test: %s",i)
                 context.stopxcell()
                 context.startxcell()
                     context.formatted.italic("test: %s",i)
                 context.stopxcell()
             end
         context.stopxrow()
     end
context.stopxtable()
\stopluacode

\stoptext
