Hello Peter, two more ways which work OK (my preferred ways): ---- \section{Alt 1} \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=3cm, height=3cm, align={middle, lohi}] % Place setup just after \bTABLE... \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \section{Alt 2} \bTABLE[width=3cm, height=3cm, align={middle, lohi}] % ... or perform setup in the scope of \bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE ---- Best regards, Lukas On Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:03:38 +0200, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi,

Is this wanted or a bug? If it's wanted, then why?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \section{Why is the align key not used?} \setupTABLE[width=3cm, height=3cm, align={middle, lohi}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE

\section{Workaround} \setupTABLE[each][each][width=3cm, height=3cm, align={middle, lohi}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

The \bTABLE does set its own values for the align-key which overwrites your settings from \setupTABLE. The arguments in the second argument are processed at a later stage (this happens always when you use row/columns setups) and taken into account when the cells are typeset.
