I am now using xtable to have an XMLish document to store a table. How I can embed ConTeXt code like $\Delta{}N_{\text{test}}$ in the external XML file file with the table? In other words, having mathematical notiation in the table header?

I tried various things such as: \expanded{\xmlflush{#1}}

1. Have you looked at the cals table module?

No. I was able to find some references to CALS and ConTeXt with Google, but no documentation for the module you describe.

2. Can you provide a example for your problem?

No, not at this time, because I am very pressed for time now. But I will come back to this later.

A simple example I found online:

\usemodule[cals]

\starttext

\startbuffer cals:table <tgroup cols="1"> <colspec/> <thead> <row> <entry>Any text</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>Any text</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> \stopbuffer

\processXMLbuffer

\stoptext

Are there advantages for CALS tables in ConTeXt vs. the xtable solution? I have R scripts (a programming language) that produce HTML tables and write them to files. Not very robust or complete but it works. This is easy to use with xtables and \xmlprocessfile . But I am interested in a more well-defined format such as CALS tables, of course. Anything I can also easily embed in DocBook documents would be very nice.

When the content of the cells is normal context code you can use \xmlflushcontext instead of \xmlflush.

Thank you. Do you know of a quick way to map an attribute, say the "id" of the "table" element to a ConTeXt ID/name? (So that I can refer to the table with \in.) At the moment there are no table numbers/descriptions for xtables at all in my document. I am using this code based on Thomas Schmitz's example in the xtables manual: \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{main}{TABLE|TR|TD|TH}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:TABLE \startembeddedxtable[\xmlatt{#1}{id}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopembeddedxtable \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:TR \startxrow \xmlflush{#1} \stopxrow \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:TD \startxcell \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:TH \startxcell[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \xmlflushcontext{#1} \stopxcell \stopxmlsetups
