[ extra line in last tabulate column ]
if the last column of a tabulate table is a paragraph, an extra blank line is added at the top, making the last column not align. adding data in the last (non) paragraph column, will make them top align correctly. 8<--- \starttext \starttabulate[|p|p|p|l|][width=\textwidth, split=yes,margin=2mm, align=right] \dorecurse{3}{ \dorecurse{3}{ \NC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adip iscing elit.

for my perception, what is the difference between \dorecurse{5}{ } and \expandedrepeat 5 { } e.g. when to use which? .Floris

There seems to be a difference in behavior too. In the example the \dorecurse places extra space before the B .Floris 8<--- \starttext \starttabulate[|c|] \HL\expandedrepeat 4 {\NC B\AR\HL} \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|c|] \HL\dorecurse{4}{\NC B\AR\HL} \stoptabulate \stoptext --->8

For some reason there is a difference between placing the opening \HL before the \dorecurse and include a closing \HL in the loop, versus placing the opening \HL it in the loop and appending the closing \HL outside the \dorecurse. Is this the reason to use the new \expandedrepeat instead? .Floris 8<--- \starttext \starttabulate[|l|] % this does not work \dorecurse{5}{ \HL \NC b \AR } \HL \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|l|] % this works \HL \dorecurse{5}{ \NC a \AR \HL } \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|l|] % this works \HL \NC c \AR \HL \NC c \AR \HL \NC c \AR \HL \NC c \AR \HL \NC c \AR \HL \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|l|] % this works \expandedrepeat 5 { \HL \NC d \AR } \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext --->8
