Hi Hans, Thanks for the new feature for row backgrounds, which I tested: it works (though see below) and it is another great feature! I wanted to add the information on the wiki, but thought it would be better to explain the meanings of \ND and \NL: is the following correct: \NC = New Column \NR = New Row \NL = New Line ? \ND = ?? Also it seems that when one encloses the tabulated lines into a \startplacetable...\stopplacetable pair, the coloring of the background does not work. Please see below an example. Best regards: OK %%% begin row-background.tex \setuptabulate[backgroundcolor=lightgray] \starttext \starttabulate[|||] \ND First name \NC Family name\NC \NR \NC Hans \NC Hagen \NC \NR \NL[darkgray] Wolfgang \NC Schuster \NC \NR \NC Aditya \NC Mahajan \NC \NR \ND Pablo \NC Rodriguez \NC \NR \stoptabulate \startplacetable[title=A nice table, but where are the colors?] \starttabulate[|||] \ND First name \NC Family name\NC \NR \NC Hans \NC Hagen \NC \NR \NL[darkgray] Wolfgang \NC Schuster \NC \NR \NC Aditya \NC Mahajan \NC \NR \ND Pablo \NC Rodriguez \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stopplacetable \stoptext %%% end row-background.tex
