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:

...

\definetabulate [alpha] \setuptabulate [alpha] [bodyfont=small] \starttext[|l|l|l|] \startalpha \NC first \NC second \NC third \NC\NR \stopalpha

...

\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.

Hi Malte

...
I am trying to define two tabulate styles as follows:

- \setuptabulate[split=yes, bodyfont=small] - \setuptabulate[split=yes]

\definetabulate [alpha] [|l|l|l|] \setuptabulate [alpha] [bodyfont=small]

\definetabulate [beta] [|l|l|] \setuptabulate [beta] [bodyfont=small, split=yes]

\starttext \startalpha \NC first \NC second \NC third \NC\NR \stopalpha

\startbeta \NC lorem \NC ipsum \NC\NR \stopbeta \stoptext

...
...such that I can just refer to them when I \starttabulate...\stoptabulate somewhere.

To refer to a table, you place it as a float and use the `reference=tab:alphatable` key. Then in the text you refer to the table, see \in{table}[tab:alphatable].

...
I thought, the command \definetabulate would come in handy here, but I can't work it out and it appears the documentation on that command is pretty scarce.

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

There's also:

\starttext

\definetabulate [whatever] [|l|r|]

\definetabulate [whatever][else] [|l|c|r|]

\startwhatever \NC l \NC r \NC \NR \NC left \NC right \NC \NR \stopwhatever

\startwhatever[else] \NC l \NC m \NC r \NC \NR \NC left \NC middle \NC right \NC \NR \stopwhatever

\stoptext

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
