Hi folks, is it possible to use an externalfigure (blabla.jpg) as a repeated header in a table and if yes, how can I use it? \setupTABLE[][][\externalfigure[blabla]] doesn't work. Thank you for any hint! Greetings Tomás

Most of contexts table environments process the content multiple times to get the cell width and height, as a result the loop iterator is expanded way after the loop has run and the default value 0 is used. To avoid this you can access the value with #1 (or ##1, ####1 etc. in nested loops), use \expanded the expand the value (at the moment broken in lmtx) or use the \expandedrepeat primitive. \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{10}{\bTR \bTD row #1 \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE % \bTABLE % \dorecurse{10}{\bTR \expanded{\bTD row \recurselevel \eTD} \eTR} % \eTABLE \bTABLE \expandedrepeat 10 {\bTR \bTD row \the\currentloopiterator \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang

Thank you Wolfgang, but I wrote some pretty rubbish. In a table, I need a text that repeats on all pages as a table header consisting of two lines. I use the table format with \setupTABLE, \startTABLE, \NC, \NR and so on. I also need an image in the header on each page. Unfortunately, I am at a loss at the moment and have no idea about either I hope for your help Greetings Tomás

In a table, I need a text that repeats on all pages as a table header consisting of two lines. I use the table format with \setupTABLE, \startTABLE, \NC, \NR and so on.
The \setupTABLE command is used to control the layout of natural tables I used in my example. \startTABLE is a wrapper for natural tables to save a few keys strokes (less markup) for less text heavy content.
I also need an image in the header on each page.
You can \setupheadertexts to place the image in the header area or use a layer to place it wherever you want.
Unfortunately, I am at a loss at the moment and have no idea about either

Thanks Wolfgang, that was THE help I needed. Now I was able to bring the thing to a nice end. Greetings Tomás
