Hi Hans! I found the following XML tabulate environment implementation in xcont-ml.tex file: ... \defineXMLsingular [context:tcell] [align=] {\appendtoks|\to\XMLtabtoks \processaction [\XMLop{align}] [left=>\appendtoks l\to\XMLtabtoks, right=>\appendtoks r\to\XMLtabtoks, center=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks, middle=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks]} ... How about para=>\appendtoks p\to\XMLtabtoks It makes it a little bit more flexible. Is there any reason You didn't add 'p' template token to the \processaction list? Regards, Pawe/l
