I would be happy about some answers/comments. Hraban Am 13.03.23 um 23:26 schrieb Henning Hraban Ramm:
Working on the documentation for “natural tables” in my book I stumbled upon a few oddities/problems:
## Addressing cells:
* There’s \setupTABLE[header], but not "footer" (or "section"); since we have TABLEhead and TABLEfoot, IMO "head" and "foot" would make sense.
* Row 1 is the first row of TABLEbody. I couldn’t find how to address the first line of TABLEbody.
* If I format a column, e.g. \setupTABLE[c][-1][color=red], body and foot are formatted, but not the same column in header. I couldn’t find how to format columns in header.
* I don’t understand the addressing options "start" and "one".
## Formatting
* maxwidth doesn’t seem to have an effect, neither on the whole table nor on a column. * textwidth works only for the whole table. * width gets stretched if option=stretch; i.e. I can’t fix the width of single cells or columns.
## Page breaking
* What’s the difference between split=repeat and header=repeat ?
I’d like to know if there are misunderstandings / if the behavior is intentional.
