Hi Adam,
no, I hadn't tried that -
even tough I had skimmed over that part way back, it now escaped me.

   \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
   \ignorespaces
   *\startembeddedxtable[icbtable]*
   \startxrow
   \startxcell[width=17mm]
   \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
   \stopxcell
   \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
   \stopxrow
   *\stopembeddedxtable*
   \removeunwantedspaces
   }

that did the job.

Thanks a lot Adam!
Cheers, W

Hi Werner,

Did you try startembeddedxtable ?

See Section 5 in the manual
(https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to create an xtable from within a \def (or within a
    \setups)
    but always run into "runaway error: end of file encountered"
    whenever the xtable-commands are in there.

        \definextable[icbtable]
        \setupxtable[icbtable]
        [frame=off,
        top=\vskip7mm]
        \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
        \ignorespaces
        \startxtable[icbtable]
        \startxrow
        \startxcell[width=17mm]
        \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
        \stopxcell
        \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \stopxtable
        \removeunwantedspaces
        }

    Is this simply not possible or am I doing something wrong there?
