Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could help me with these three things:

For a long time I have been using Wichura's TaBle macros (i.e., what one
gets with
        \input table
in plain TeX) and would like to use what appears to be ConTeXt's version of
those (i.e., what one gets with \starttable ... \stoptable).


However, https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttable says
        The environment \starttable ... \stoptable is and (sic) old and
        nearly obsolete way to handle tabular material

Q1: are there plans to remove \starttable ... \endtable from ConTeXt any
    time "soon", or is that wiki comment gratuitously pessimistic?



In a recent answer on this list, Mikael helped someone by pointing out the
\HF[...] command.  The \HF command is not listed in the \starttable wiki page.

Q2: Is \HF[] documented anywhere?  If so, can someone point me to that/those
    document(s)?



Perhaps an answer to Q2 will answer this one too, but in case it doesn't...

When using Wichura's \BeginTable ... \EndTable macros, I occasionally
use the \\+nm feature to add n points above the current line and/or m
points below the current line.

Q3: Does ConTexT's \starttable ... \endtable have this feature?
    If so, how does one access this feature?


Thanks.

                                Jim
