Divided cells and bullet points in tables
Hi, I'm trying to create a table with the following formatting: 1. The top left cell is divided in two by a diagonal line with separate text into each triangle 2. Another cell in the table body has a bulleted list I've had no success with the first. With the second I've tried using the \startitemize command. It generates the bullet points but places all the items on a single line and hence pushing the table wider than the page. I've also tried using \par or \newline but to no avail. I have been using tabulate for the table; is there another table library that might make this work? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

2. Another cell in the table body has a bulleted list
This is possible with natural tables. Marco
Hi Malte,

That solution is very hackish and the result ugly. Here is a more clean solution. It has (at least ) one caveat: Because the first tabulate column is set in paragraph mode, it will eat up as much space as *possible*, in contrast to occupying as much space as *necessary*. That is why the width of the column has to be set explicitly. \startuseMPgraphic{DiagonalRule} rulethickness := \frameddimension{rulethickness}; drawoptions( withpen pencircle scaled rulethickness withcolor \MPcolor{\framedparameter{framecolor}}); pair leftcorner, rightcorner; leftcorner := (rulethickness, \overlayheight-rulethickness); rightcorner := (\overlaywidth-rulethickness, rulethickness); draw leftcorner -- rightcorner; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [DiagonalRule] [\useMPgraphic{DiagonalRule}] \define[2]\DiagonalLabel{% \setuptabulate [after={\blank[\frameddimension{offset}]}] \starttabulate [|p|r|] \NC \NC #2 \NC\NR \NC #1 \NC \NC\NR \stoptabulate } \starttext \setupTABLE [1] [width=2cm] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD [background=DiagonalRule] \DiagonalLabel{Foo}{Bar} \eTD \bTD Second \eTD \bTD Third \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD Alpha \eTD \bTD Beta \eTD \bTD Gamma \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Marco

Use natural tables or xtables where you can use the background/overlay mechanism. \startuseMPgraphic{table:line:diagonal} draw lrcorner OverlayBox -- ulcorner OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled \frameddimension{rulethickness} withcolor \MPcolor{\framedparameter{framecolor}} ; draw textext.llft("\strut\getvariable{table:diagonal}{first}") shifted (OverlayWidth-\frameddimension{offset},OverlayHeight-\frameddimension{offset}) ; draw textext.urt ("\strut\getvariable{table:diagonal}{second}") shifted (\frameddimension{offset},\frameddimension{offset}) ; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[table:line:diagonal][\useMPgraphic{table:line:diagonal}] \starttext \bTABLE[width=4cm,height=4cm] \bTR \bTD[background=table:line:diagonal] \setgvariables[table:diagonal][first=Risk,second=Probabality] \eTD \bTD C1 \eTD \bTD C2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD R1 \eTD \bTD \startitemize \startitem Item 1 \stopitem \startitem Item 2 \stopitem \stopitemize \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD R2 \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang
