Hi Michael, I don’t know, but replacing your definitions with the following ones removes the error: \define\startTable{\startembeddedxtable} \define\stopTable{\stopembeddedxtable} I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\starttext \startTable \startxrow \startxcell hallo \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopTable \stoptext

because the \stopembeddedxtable is a delimiter and need to be in the stream, so you can't wrap it in a macro Hans

Michael, sorry, I checked that compilation was fine, but I didn’t open the resulting file. Now I realize that the PDF document wasn’t created in both cases. I would say this might be a bug. Sorry for the previous noise, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
