Hello, How could I get a column with 0 width (useful for dummy columns). Example, that shows, that the width is not 0: \starttext \setupTABLE[width=0pt, offset=0pt, height=1cm] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD\eTD\eTR \eTABLE \framed[width=0pt, offset=0pt, height=1cm]{} \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

New subject: span ROWS in \starttables?

Hello, Is there any mechanism to span ROWS in (\start)tables similar to column spanning through \use{3}{}? The aim is to produce a multi-row column entry as can be done via \bTD[nr=3] in \bTABLE. Thanks Alan

\NC \use{3} ... \NC ... or \NC \THREE ... \NC ... You can find more information on the wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table Wolfgang

This mechanism spans COLUMNS not rows. I would like to produce --------- | | b | | |---| | A | c | | |---| | | d | --------- using \starttables, as can be done with: \setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi] \bTABLE \bTR \bTC[nr=3] A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR \eTABLE Note that: \starttables[|c|c|] \HL \VL \VL b \VL\AR \DC \DL \DR \VL A \VL c \VL\AR \DC \DL \DR \VL \VL d \VL\LR \HL \stoptables does not quite do the job, since the aim is to put a tall object "A" spanning the three rows.

Sorry for this wrong information.

I would like to produce --------- | | b | | |---| | A | c | | |---| | | d | --------- using \starttables, as can be done with: \setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi] \bTABLE \bTR \bTC[nr=3] A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR \eTABLE

Note that: \starttables[|c|c|] \HL \VL \VL b \VL\AR \DC \DL \DR \VL A \VL c \VL\AR

\VL \smash{\vcenter{\hbox{\definedfont[Serif at 70pt]A}}} \VL c \VL\AR

\DC \DL \DR \VL \VL d \VL\LR \HL \stoptables does not quite do the job, since the aim is to put a tall object "A" spanning the three rows.

Ah, TeX magic! Indeed, I never learned about \smash. Thank you (added a line to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table#Column_Spans) Alan

You can use \LOW and \LOWER. See http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb29-1/tb91mahajan.pdf Section 6. Aditya

Copied from the manual source: ... \index {form::entry}

The following minimal example works as expected: \setupregister[index][au][textstyle=\sc] \def\Index#1{\index{#1}#1} \def\Author#1{\index{au::#1}#1} \starttext The \index[TeX]{\TeX}\TeX \Index{typesetting} system (\Author{Knuth}) \page \completeindex \stoptext Within a large project using the above definitions, author entries in the index are typeset normally, not in \sc. However, if I use \setupregister[index][au][textstyle=boldslanted] I do get bold-slanted entries in my large project. Have I misunderstood the use of setupregister, or is this a bug? Thank you, in advance. Alan
