Tabulate and vertical spacing
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4b4ced3073feb2d1288a7744c747e62b.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hello! This is a YASQ (Yet Another Stupid Question) that might well have an answer in the mail archives, but they still don't cooperate (at least I cannot find any links to a working archive)... How do I change the vertical line spacing in a tabulation? My default setting is \setupwhitespace[medium], nothing else. Most of my tabulations are fine with this, but in one certain set I'd need to bring the lines vertically closer together - how do I achieve this? BTW, how does ConTeXt understand lines of a tabulation - are they altogether one block or is each line equivalent to a block? (Windows analogy: Word handles the text in each cell as a separate paragraph; but Word isn't exactly a good typesetter, anyway.) Thanks for your patience, Mari Voipio Finland

Would using "packed" help? e.g., \starttabulate[4,packed]

Ignore that about "packed". It's early in the morning --- I got mixed up
with \startitemize :-)
