Hello again, I wonder whether anyone has some thoughts to help with my problem? Either why \xmlpos gives double values or alternatives to arrange my table format? Best wishes, Ben On Mon, 28 Mar 2022, at 10:44, Ben Moon via ntg-context wrote:

Hello All,

I'm trying to render a table stored in XML JATS format (https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/) and eventually want to use the <colgroup> tag to setup column aligning from the @align attribute, e.g.,

\setupTABLE [column] [\xmlpos{#1}] [align=\xmlatt{#1}{align}]

Including \xmlpos{#1} I get double the value returned, i.e.: the first element in colgroup returns 2, the second returns 4 etc.

Below is a MWE to show my issue. I show \xmlpos for each <col> tag in <colgroup> above the table, which returns 2, 4, 6, 8 but I expected 1, 2, 3, 4. Am I missing something or is there another way I could do this?

~~~~~~~~~~~~ \startbuffer[table] <table-wrap> <table> <colgroup> <col align="center" /> <col align="right" /> <col /> <col /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th>H1 (centre)</th> <th>H2 (right)</th> <th>H3</th> <th>H4</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>A1</td> <td>A2</td> <td>A3</td> <td>A4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>B1</td> <td>B2</td> <td>B3</td> <td>B4</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </table-wrap> \stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:tabletestsetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} % tables \xmlsetsetup{#1}{table-wrap|table}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{thead|tbody|tr|th|td}{xml:table:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{colgroup|col}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:tabletestsetups}

\startxmlsetups xml:table-wrap \startplacetable % \contextversion \par \xmlflush{#1} \stopplacetable \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:table \bTABLE \xmlflush{#1} \eTABLE \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody \bTABLEbody \xmlflush{#1} \eTABLEbody \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xml:table:td \bTC \xmlflush{#1} \eTC \stopxmlsetups

\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{table}{} ~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the best, Ben
