Hello, In the following example using the "nc" option, the 3 middle columns don't fit the width option. It seems that the table tries to fit to the page width instead. \starttext \bTABLE[frame=on,width=3em] \bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Regards, BG

there is probably a good reason for that (but forgot what), \squeezeTBLspanfalse will give you a different result; a possible patch is: \newif\ifautosqueezeTBLspan \autosqueezeTBLspantrue % NEW \long\def\dohandleTBLcellA#1#2[#3]#4% {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox {\setupTBLcell{#1}{#2}% \scratchdimen\tbltbldistance\relax \ifdim\scratchdimen>\gettbldis{#2}\relax \settbldis{#2}{\the\scratchdimen}% \fi \localframed [\@@tbl\@@tbl] [#3,\c!background=,\c!frame=\v!off]% 25% faster {\bTBLCELL\TBLcharalign{#2}{#4}\eTBLCELL\inTBLcell{#1}{#2}}}% \scratchdimen\gettblwid\colTBL\relax \ifdim\wd\scratchbox>\scratchdimen \ifsqueezeTBLspan \doifelsevalue{\@@tbl*sq}\v!no \donefalse {\ifautosqueezeTBLspan \doifdimensionelse\tbltblwidth\donefalse\donetrue \else \donetrue \fi}% \ifdone \ifnum0\number\gettblcol{#1}{#2}>1\relax \settblspn\colTBL \fi \fi \fi \doifelsetblspn\colTBL \donothing{\settblwid\colTBL{\the\wd\scratchbox}}% auto set \fi \let\rowTBLx\rowTBL\increment\rowTBLx \scratchdimen\gettblhei\rowTBLx\relax \ifdim\ht\scratchbox<\scratchdimen \settblhei\rowTBLx{\the\ht\scratchbox}% auto set \fi \settblht{#1}{#2}{\the\ht\scratchbox}% \settblwd{#1}{#2}{\the\wd\scratchbox}% \ifautoTBLcheckwidth \ifdim\wd\scratchbox<.75\hsize \ifdim\ht\scratchbox>2\openlineheight \scratchdimen\gettblaut\colTBL\relax \ifdim\scratchdimen=\zeropoint \settblaut\colTBL{\the\scratchdimen}% \else\ifdim\wd\scratchbox>\scratchdimen \settblaut\colTBL{\the\wd\scratchbox}% \fi\fi \fi \fi \fi \setbox2\null \wd2\wd\scratchbox \ht2\ht\scratchbox \dp2\dp\scratchbox \box2} but i'm not sure if it will not break other situations, so please do some harsh testing 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, thanks, it works fine for me.
a possible patch is:
\newif\ifautosqueezeTBLspan \autosqueezeTBLspantrue % NEW [...]
but i'm not sure if it will not break other situations, so please do some harsh testing
No need for deep testing :-) Any table without a width option fails. Example: \bTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD A \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD B \eTD \eTR \eTABLE ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> f \v!fit ->f it \doifdimensionelse ...mensionelse \scratchdimen #1 pt\relax <argument> ...pan \doifdimensionelse \tbltblwidth \donefalse \donetrue \else... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \handleTBLcell ... \donetrue \else \donetrue \fi } \ifdone \ifnum 0\number \g... ... l.22 \eTABLE What is the expected benefit of the patch in comparison with switching off the squeeze stuff, since I haven't seen yet a side effect of using \squeezeTBLspanfalse ?
