natural tables flaw: extra space
Hi, consider the following example \starttext \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=1mm] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 1,1 \eTD \bTD 2,1 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1,2 \eTD \bTD 2,2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext In the first cell, extra space is added before the entry. I guess it's 1mm from the left frame which should be off, so the space shouldn't be there. Or is it a feature? Greetings, -- Eckhart

a feature (invisible rules at left/right/bottom) \setupTABLE[frame=off,rulethickness=1mm] gives better results Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hm. I would expect a frame that is 'off' to be inexistent, not only invisible. Alas, not that important, you will know why that is a feature. -- Eckhart

because in most cases (in framed, which is the cornerstone of bTABLE) one will not let a not present frame influence the game; has to do with aligning framed things and such Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
