Arranging framed text without gaps
Dear all, I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and height. They typically are something like \framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text} and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that everything fits nicely. After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up with the following which is not exactly ConTeXt-like: \setupframed[ width=5cm, height=4cm, location={middle}, align={center,middle} ] \setupbodyfont[24pt] \starttext \hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}} \hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}} \hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}} \hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}} \hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}} \hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}} \hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}} \hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}} \stoptext I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like. Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered. In MkII it is. My questions: How do I -- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right way, -- without gaps between horizontal rows -- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV? Thanks a lot - Matthias
Thanks!

See Adityas answer for how to fix your current code.

There is no “right” way. Here's how I would approach that: \usemodule [database] \definefont [MyBigFont] [Serif at 24pt] \defineseparatedlist [MyTable] [before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD, setups=my:table] \startsetups [my:table] \setupTABLE [split=yes, width=5cm, height=4cm, style=MyBigFont] \setupTABLE [each] [align={middle,lohi}] \stopsetups \starttext \startMyTable Jim , Mary , John Patsy , Bob , Linda Mike , Babsy , Bill Liz , Dave , Jenny Dick , Sue , Chuck Maggie , Joe , Dolley Tom , Lisa , Chris Nancy , Paul , Betty \stopMyTable \stoptext Marco
Fascinating.
Thanks!!

\stoptext

This looks really clean. I wish I had known about this neat trick while working on my thesis. I guess this is the difference between a novice user and an expert user of ConTeXt. Thank you Marco, Devendra
