while playing around with starttables, footnotes and paragraphs in starttables, I found some problems. Here is the first one, I would like to get a paragraph in 2 columns:
\def\SomeText{\dorecurse{20}{hallo }} \starttext \starttables[s1|p(13em)|l|p(13em)|] \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \postponefootnotes\footnote{a footnote} \VL \AR \VL \SomeText \VL \TWO{Not ok, since too much distance to the line at the left.}\VL\AR \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \VL \AR \stoptables \stoptext
\def\SomeText{\dorecurse{2}{hallo }} \starttext \starttables[s1|p(13em)|l|p(13em)|] \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \postponefootnotes\footnote{a footnote} \VL \AR \VL \SomeText \VL \TWO\JustLeft{\vtop{\setupinterlinespace\hsize 14em Better, but I need to calculate the hsize, and there are other workarounds for correct vertical spacing.

hm, strange table; anyhow, how about: \def\SomeText{\dorecurse{20}{hallo }} \postponefootnotes \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \SomeText \eTD \bTD xxx \eTD \bTD \SomeText\footnote{a footnote} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \SomeText \eTD \bTD[nx=2] Better, but I need to calculate the hsize, and there are other workarounds for correct vertical spacing. Furthermore, the footnote is lost.\eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \SomeText \eTD \bTD xxx \eTD \bTD \SomeText \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \flushfootnotes btw, tabulate is the most clever with paragraphs 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
