Re: [NTG-context] Need help with \definetabulate

Marco,
\definetabulate [alpha] [|l|l|l|] \setuptabulate [alpha] [bodyfont=small]
This does not work for me quite the way I need it to. I am really just after defining the font-size, but I would like to leave the column setup to the user (I am building an environment and that I would like everyone in my team to use to ensure a consistent look-and-feel or all documents). So, ideally, I would like to do this:
\stoptext
...but that does not seem to work. Any way I can achieve this?
Feel free to add an example. It's a wiki!
Sure. Will do, once I have this working. Thank you, Malte.

Any pointers anyone? I need to get this working and am running out of ideas.

The problem is that \starttabulate does not accept a format parameter. Cheap solution (only figured it out now, or I'd have replied before): use \setuptabulate[alpha][format={....}] before every \startalpha call. It's not very contexty syntax, but on the other hand it requires no new definitions at all. Full example below. Cheers, Sietse \definetabulate[alpha][|l|] % dummy format \setuptabulate[alpha][style=bold] \setuptabulate[alpha][format={|r|r|r|}] \startalpha \NC r \NC r \NC r \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stopalpha \setuptabulate[alpha][format={|c|c|}] \startalpha \NC c \NC c \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stopalpha

Can you add a second argument to custom tabulation which would allow one to write \startwhatever[format={…}] or \startwhatever[else][format={…}] to change the number of columns and format for a certain table. Wolfgang
