Ok, even with the wiki and all the manuals around (which are getting obsolete, too) there is definitely too little documentation on the various tabulation formats. The biggest problem is that each table type has its ability, but there is nothing that can do everything. Simplest example, I'm currently having a problem using a start/stoptabulate (which I need because \RC & friends don't work in start/stoptable) but I don't know how to span multiple columns (which can be done in start/stoptable with \use, which doesn't work in start/stoptabulate) What am I supposed to do? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Read the sources, of course. Once I found about \ReFormat in the TaBlE mechanism, I was done. It's more verbose than the tabulate way, but it works perfectly. Should I write some documentation about TaBlE preambles and commands (for the Wiki), or would it be against some rule about its ($$$) documentation? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Giuseppe, please do so.
or would it be against some rule about its ($$$) documentation?
I doubt that there is any law that prohibits writing a documentation from scratch. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

No, table is actually all right. I seem to have met a bug, though.

And it works, thank you very much. Now to find a way to have 100 floats hanging around without killing TeX ... -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
