Dear ConTeXt users, I am ConTeXt newbie. I want to typeset my table coded in CALS xml format to pdf.

I am not sure how to define the spanning columns like

<entry colname="c2" namest="2" nameend="3" align="center">bb cc

in \defineXMLnested [entry] \bTD \eTD

please help.

if you use context mkiv with luatex, cals is supported in the x-cals* files (including some control over output); this is to be documented (deadline is the upcoming context conference) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
