Hi,

is it possible to support columnspan in tabulate.

\def\tabulateuse#1% {\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span}}

\setuptabulate[inner=\let\use\tabulateuse\defineTABLEshorthands]

\starttext

\starttable[|l|l|l|l|] \NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \AR \NC 1 \NC \TWO 2 \NC 4 \AR \stoptable

\starttabulate[|l|Bl|l|l|] \NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \NR \NC 1 \NC 2 \TWO \NC 4 \NR \stoptabulate

\stoptext

them more something like ...

\def\tabulateuse#1{\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span\omit}}

\appendtoks \let\use\tabulateuse \defineTABLEshorthands \to \everytabulate

\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|Br|l|l|] \NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \NR \NC 1 \NC 2 \TWO \NC 4 \NR \stoptabulate

i have no problem with adding such a feature, but you have to write down a 'limited use' entry in the wiki then since it will not work with p entries

No problem for me, I need it only in single row entries.

Could we say I never wrote this, I saw yesterday I need p columns in my tables and the current tabulause command did not work but the following solution did what I want. \def\tabulateuse#1% {\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span\omit}\raggedright\ignorespaces} \appendtoks \let\use\tabulateuse \defineTABLEshorthands \to \everytabulate \starttext \starttabulate[|p(4cm)|p(4cm)|p(6cm)|] \NC \dorecurse{10}{text } \NC \dorecurse{8}{text } \NC \dorecurse{18}{text } \NC\NR \NC \TWO Short text spanning two tabulate paragraphs. \NC \dorecurse{22}{text } \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext I have to set the width for each colum but I could now use p columns.
