Hi Hans, I need to make a set of tables, which are quite simple. I wanted to use the \starttable..\stoptable environment. However I get very strange results in the last column (p-column) Please have a look at the test.tex file. Do I something in a wrong way or is there something broken? Thanks for your support. Willi p.s. I am using the beta of 04.03.2003 with a format of 09-03-2003.

my table/.../ knowledge is very limited, but why don't you just specify p(8cm) there? Don't know what you need but that looks right to me. (Yesterdays ConTeXt version.) Patrick

Hello Patrick,
specify p(8cm) there?
Thanks for the tip. I realize, that after |r| or |l| you need the w if you want to specify a width of a column, but you should not use the w after |p| when specifying a width. What happend with my setup is, that the two coloumns with l and r where typeset as expected but the p column showed a frame according to the w(8cm) but the text was typeset in a narrow column centered within the frame of the column. To me this way of coding a table lacks logic. - However it works now. Willi

as patrick pointed out: use p(dimension) \starttable[|rw(1cm)|lw(3cm)|p(8cm)|] you had something wp(8cm) and the funny w spoils things (probably takes prev one) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
