Thanks for that Wolfgang. It doesn't seem to work though. The text stays at the
left.
Meantime I have tried two other approaches. Only an approach using a \framed
handles
longer lines.
My problem with the 3. \framed approach is: how do I get the size of the
current table
cell? In the MWE I used fixed values, in the actual document that would not be
good - too
many different cells.
I am trying a further approach using MetaPost and OverlayBox. Seems possible
(line
wrapping also an issue), but quite involved...
Thanks, Martin
New MWS:
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=20mm]
\setupTABLE[c][2,3][width=30mm]
\setupTABLE[r][1][height= 50mm,align={lohi}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD \dontleavehmode{\rotate{1. a bit more text again, entering the age of long
sentences}} \eTD
\bTD \hbox to \dimexpr(.5\lineheight+.5\hsize){\hss{\rotate{2. a bit more text
again, and
see if linebreaking works}}} \eTD
\bTD
\rotate[rotation=90,location=depth]{\framed[frame=on,align={lohi,middle},width=\dimexpr(\o
verlaywidth-05pt),width=48mm,height=29mm]{3. even more huge text, wondering
where the
rabbit runs)}} \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
