Recommended table environment?
Hello, I have a project where I think ConTeXt really fits well, so I have a first question (after a looong period of absence). Is there a recommended table environment? I give an example in the attached PDF. What I need: * have influence on the column width (2 columns, both same size) * automatic split with repeating headers * more than one paragraph (with fill in rules) in a cell possible (but this simulated by invisible cells) * some borders (not so sure about that...) Thanks! Patrick (a sample is at http://i.imgur.com/ePHdn.png )

tables like the example can best be made with bTABLE .. eTABLE or with the new startxtable .. stopxtable mechanism for multi par content set align=flushleft for the cell Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed there is -- see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview : * Tabulate (tabulation, recommended for simple requirements) * TABLE (natural tables, HTML tables, recommended) I tend to use TABLE for everything, and I believe it will meet all your stated requirements. Pont
