- how do I set the spacing between a vertical line (between two columns) and the text inside that columns? I already used "framedoffest=-3pt", but the output is unacceptable.

Spacing is a weak point of natural tables. Afaik, there is no good way to tune spacing. I would try using dummy colums like \bTD[width=1em]\eTD.

Yes, I was also thinking about that. Perhaps adding lefttext= and righttext= params to \framed (since table cell is framed) solves some problem. Imagine: \setupTABLE[column][1,2][align=right,lefttext=\hskip.5em] or \setupTABLE[column][3][align=left,righttext=\hskip5pt$\bullet$] ... \bTABLE \eTABLE vit

- how do I center the whole table? This one is really crucial: my GF also accepts hacks ;).

\midaligned{..} works Yep, but only if I don't split the table:

gives ERROR: Missing } inserted. --- TeX said --- <inserted text> } <to be read again> \unvcopy \splittblboxa ...p \page \egroup \fi \fi \unvcopy 2 \ifcase \noftblnextlines... \splittblbox ...tblsplitmethod }\splittblboxa {#1} \fi \eTABLE ...}}\eTBL }\removeunwantedspaces \endTBL \stopTBLprocessing \egroup... l.11 \eTABLE } and \startalignment[middle]...\stopalignment doesn't seem to do anything in that case.

...

- why doesn't \splitfloat{\placetable...} work with Natural Tables? (They won't get splitted at all, but with tables and linetables it works...)

\setupTABLE[split=yes] or \setupTABLE[split=repeat] That's not what I meant:

doesn't split the table. The output looks exactly like the \midaligned{} one. bye, Adam.

\setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] \setupTABLE[c][2][distance=3em] Will this be both: the distance to the left and the right frame?

soon, for the moment just \input the file i sent you

That is needed improvement of natural tables, thanks Hans. --- - In my vz-new.tex is another simple improvement of nat tables. Perhaps it can be also incorporated: ---------------------------------- \long\def\parseTH[#1]#2\eTH {\parseTD[#1,\c!color=\tbltblheadcolor,\c!style=\tbltblheadstyle, \c!align=\tbltblheadalign,\c!aligncharacter=\v!no]#2\eTD} ---------------------------------- See additional \c!align=\tbltblheadalign - and what about nc=max? = Span as much as columns as there are to the end of line. vit

I was looking for core-ntb-new.tex or 'distance' in current beta core-ntb.tex but have not been successful. Please, where I can find it? Thanks Vit
