For example:

I'd like to set a "total width" that fits both tables without specifying also the 2nd and 3rd column:

\setupTABLE[totalwidth=10cm,offset=5pt]

\setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm,align=left] \setupTABLE[column][5][width=1cm,align=middle] ....

Try

\bTABLE[option=stretch] \bTR\bTD aa \eTD\bTD bb \eTD\bTD cc \eTD\bTD dd \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD aa \eTD\bTD bb \eTD\bTD cc \eTD\bTD dd \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD aa \eTD\bTD bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb \eTD\bTD cc \eTD\bTD dd \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD aa \eTD\bTD bb \eTD\bTD cc \eTD\bTD dd \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD aa \eTD\bTD bb \eTD\bTD cc \eTD\bTD dd \eTD\eTR \eTABLE

Try yourself:

\setupTABLE[offset=5pt] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm,align=left] \setupTABLE[column][5][width=1cm,align=middle]

Not much left of those defined spaces, right?

Steffen

P.S. And what has your proposal to do with the idea of setting a "total width"? _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
