I expect follow MWE to produce a centered table. But it does not. Am I making any obvious mistake. --------------- \definetabulate[centeredTable][|r|l|] \setuptabulate [centeredTable] [align={middle}] \starttext \startcenteredTable \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stopcenteredTable \stoptext ---------------- This also *doesn't* work. --------------- \setuptabulate [align={middle}] \starttext \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext ---------------- -- Devendra Ghate

I'd do such things with \starttext \input knuth\par \placetable[force,none]{none}{% \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate } \input knuth \stoptext (the knuths are there only not to make the page look so empty, and the force makes it non-floating, and the nones are there to not have any caption (or even Table title)) but maybe there are better solutions? /Mikael

I realized that the second none is not needed. It is sufficient with empty {} (or they could include any text). I updated the wiki. /Mikael

Actually the « none » in \placetable[force,none] means you don’t want a caption and the first braces enclose the caption, while the second braces enclose what is going to be « placed »: compare \placetable[force]{This is a centered tabulation}{ \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate} with \placetable[force,none]{This is a centered tabulation}{ \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate} Best regards: OK

Best regards: OK

I think this agrees (with what I meant). Do you know how how to do this with \startplacetable and \stopplacetable? \startplacetable%[force,none] \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stopplacetable gives a "Table 1" below the table. And uncommenting the [force,none] part does not seem to help... /Mikael

Sorry for the spamming, according to older examples on the list, this seems to work: \startplacetable[location=force,number=no] \starttabulate[|r|l|] \HL \NC I want this table \NC aligned in the center.\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stopplacetable There is also a location=nonumber. I don't know what is the difference. /Mikael PS: I'll try to add this to the \startplacefloat page (which seems to be absent)

When you write “none” in the caption this is now handled as a normal string and no longer as a keyword to disable the caption. Wolfgang

This is a topic that is of great interest to me. I have been trying to make tables in mkii (because I need XeTeX for my Indic fonts) that span across pages and in which cells are more than one line (so I use the 'p' parameter). I'm enclosing a test file below. Any suggestions?

You have you use the “split” keyword when you want your tables to be broken across pages, i.e. \starttext \placetable[split]{Table caption} {\starttabulate \NC Knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \NC Tufte \NC \input tufte \NC\NR \NC Zapf \NC \input zapf \NC\NR \NC Knuth \NC \input knuth \NC\NR \NC Tufte \NC \input tufte \NC\NR \NC Zapf \NC \input zapf \NC\NR \stoptabulate} \stoptext Wolfgang

You can use \placetable for all table environments. Wolfgang

Thank you! Now another one: (a) I want to create a table using 'p' cells that does not use the full width of the paper (b) it is a long table, crossing a page end (c) the whole table should be centered I tried the source below and obviously made a mistake somewhere. Any suggestions?

maybe bTABLE ... tabulate p's get a distibuted width ... pretty hard to do otherwise

Sorry, Hans, but I need to use odd fonts for Indian languages that are not (yet?) supported by mkiv. But the combination ConTeXt mkii+XeTeX gives me beautiful results, so for the time being I'm trying to solve my few remaining problems and to produce my book that way. Robert

Also, but mainly Kannada, and also Tamil. XeTeX (and therefore also mkii) deals with all of them very well. Robert
