Hello everyone,
I'm starting to write some technical documents for a customer. I used MS
Word in the past because that's what they use, then switched to OO
Writer for the last job, but I'm not very comfortable with neither of
them, so I decided to switch to ConTeXt.
However, I'm facing with a problem. Page headings must contain a three
columns table, with a logo in the left cell, a title in the middle one
and finally some rows with a document reference number, the issue, the
issue date and "page/pages" numbers.
I'm not sure if I should use the \startcolumns environment (but it
doesn't seems to work in headers or footers) or one of the various table
environments.
Could you give me some advice?
I attached a screenshot of what the header looks like in Writer.
You can try to use a table but there is a possibility for problems when you use xtables
in your document which are split across pages.

\startsetups[header:table]
