It is a pity if \xmlstrip does not work. It is of course fairly essential that the whitespace between the tags can be ignored. I sincerely hope this will be looked into. Or could this be a special effect related to either the use of a buffer as source or to the embeddedxtable structure? However, it doesn't seem the whole story. I removed all whitespace between the tags and the \unskip's from the code. In the result below you can see that removing the whitespace between the tags removes most of the spurious spaces, but not all of them. Another picture has the = embedded before the \xmlflush in \startrow and shows that still spurious space is injected. To me it looks if every row gets an extra space: three of them before the table and the last one after the table (but here I am guessing).

There is something I do not understand and I hope you can explain this. The table is typeset by the \xmlflush{#1} in the table macro:

\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:table Z\bgroup \setupxtable[% Setup defaults leftmargindistance=0pt,rightmargindistance=0pt, offset=2pt,height=fit,width=fit, align={center,lohi},columndistance=0pt] \setupxtableparameters{#1} \startlocationbox{#1} \removeunwantedspaces \startembeddedxtable X\xmlflush{#1}Y\stopembeddedxtable \ignorespaces \stoplocationbox \egroup \stopxmlsetups

The "X" and "Y" have been placed around the \xmlflush to see what happens. Why do I see them 3 times? It looks as if the embeddedxtable-line is called 3 times (or maybe 4 times once for each row with the last call vanishing). However, the table macro itself is called only once, the "Z" at the beginning proves that. I cannot explain this.

This is normal and needed for the calculation of the cell widths and heights. This mechanism is called trial typesetting and used by a few mechanism (e.g. float captions) to get the dimensions of the content. Wolfgang

Here an example as minimal as I could construct.

The spaces in the output are produced by the spaces between the tags (\xmlstrip doesn’t seem to work) and you have to use a combination of \removeunwantedspaces and \ignorespaces to remove them.

To center your table this isn’t necessary when you replace \midaligned with a framedtext environment in combination with “location=middle” or use a float command like \placefigure.

\startxmlsetups xmlcommon \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{table|tr|td}{xmlcommon:*} \stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xmlcommon}

\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:table % \removeunwantedspaces \startembeddedxtable \xmlflush{#1} \stopembeddedxtable % \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:tr % \removeunwantedspaces \startxrow \xmlflush{#1} \stopxrow % \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups

\startxmlsetups xmlcommon:td % \removeunwantedspaces \startxcell \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell % \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups

Input from file or from buffer doesn't make a difference. I inserted the \removeunwantedspaces and \ignorespaces, as you suggested. The xmlstrip macros do not make any difference, either active or commented out. Then there still remains extra space at the end. See below.

I think I can reduce the number of places where spaces have to be suppressed. With just 2 \removeunwantedspaces and 1 \ignorespaces I get rid of most of them. The \framed[offset=0pt] shows where spurious space is still inserted.

Only 1 space remains inside the framed: in the vertical dimension below the table. Any idea where this comes from? Some parameter to change in the \framerd perhaps?

It’s impossible to tell what’s wrong with our code snippets, you have to create working minimal examples. The following example shows where you have to take care of extra space and you don’t need them when you put the whole table in a \vbox (you can test by commenting all \ignorespaces and \removeunwantedspaces commands and replacing \ruledhbox with \ruledvbox). \startxmlsetups xmlcommon \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{table|tbody|tr|td}{xmlcommon:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xmlcommon} \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:table % \removeunwantedspaces \startembeddedxtable \xmlflush{#1} \stopembeddedxtable \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:tbody % \removeunwantedspaces \startxtablebody \xmlflush{#1} \stopxtablebody \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:tr % \removeunwantedspaces \startxrow \xmlflush{#1} \stopxrow \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:td \removeunwantedspaces \startxcell \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell \ignorespaces \stopxmlsetups \starttext \startbuffer[table] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>A</td> <td>B</td> </tr> <tr> <td>C</td> <td>D</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </root> \stopbuffer \ruledhbox{\xmlprocessbuffer{root}{table}{}} \stoptext Wolfgang
