I'm looking over the table overview at the wiki garden: http://contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview It states that: "ConTeXt has a whole bunch of possibilities to typeset tables. Not each provides everything you may need, and the older ones are deprecated." Yet on looking at all of the different types of tables, I can't exactly see which ones are deprecated. Are any deprecated? I also see that there are three different types of tables for spanning across pages ("\starttablehead", "\bTABLE", and "\startlinetable"). Do each of these have strengths and weaknesses? Perhaps I could make a table for each type of tables, if someone could guide me: name tabulate TaBlE etable ETC =================================== Use short table Notes does not have vertical lines ETC. Thanks for whoever did this wiki page, since it is helping me get started. Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************

Hard to say (even if I wrote that text). Better don't use "table(s)" any more.

TABLE should be actual best, linetable will be best sometime, but is still hardly documented (please prove me wrong). Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

Unfortunately, I also couldn't find documentation on the linetable. The actual module says that it is experimental. Could you give me an example of how TABLE can put the same heading on the top of each page. Hopefully, it can!

There's those few samples at http://www.contextgarden.net/Linetable and some remarks the source at http://source.contextgarden.net/core-ltb.tex

Hm, perhaps... in http://source.contextgarden.net/core-ntb.tex there's TABLE(head|foot|body|next) and (b|e)TH, maybe that does what you need (didn't try) Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

I've seen these, but the information isn't really enough to get me started. If someone could help me out, I'd be willing to try to document them.

I tried: \bTABLEhead ... \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \eTABLEbody This only puts the heading at the top of the first page. There may be some option to set in \setupTABLE. However, the module does state: % the section setup does not work yet, data needs to be stored, % i.e.each row should know if it's a head/body/foot, and there % should be \setupTABLE[head]... and alike Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************

Thanks. I've included this in my documentation: http://getfo.sourceforge.net/context_xml/page4.html
there is also
\bTABLEnext \eTABLEnext
Not sure what this means! Any hint would help the documentation. Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************

Thanks. I've included this in my documentation:
In your page, section "Customizing TABLE" sub-section "customization options": the table "Possible options for setuoTABLE" has some typo :) width=<dimen> --> set height ? "set" & "sets" ? Thank you

Thanks. I corrected the height typo, and realize you also pointed to a "sets" typo. Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************
