Re: [NTG-context] Grid-keeping table
Dear Luigi, dear Rolf, thank you for your help. Below is a (hopefully) better example of what I try to do and where it fails. The last line in tabulate (starting with 22C6) loses the grid, and I can't see why. Unfortunately the solutions you suggested did not work for me. I do want to avoid to specify cell heights, I just want to arrange paragraph boxes, all (horizontally) top-aligned with each entry in my table. TABLE with \synchronizegrid would do the trick (a non-framed table would have grid-keeping rows). Still it seems to fail in my specific setting (two-column, I could not trace down what the problem really is). And the need to specify the number of rows is a problem in my case, as I would need to add a parameter to my macro etc. Johannes %% \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \showstruts \starttext \input tufte \starttabulate[|p(.1\textwidth)|p(.1\textwidth)|p(.5\textwidth)|p(.2\textwidth)|]% \NC 002B \NC $+$ \NC plus; Addition \NC \NR \NC 00D7 \NC $\times$ \NC kartesisches Produkt (von Mengen);\hfill\break Kreuzprodukt (Vektorprodukt);\hfill\break mal; Produkt (bei Zahlwerten) \NC \NR \NC 2217 \NC $*$ \NC (Stern, Asterisk); Konvolution; Faltung; Produkt \NC \NR \NC 22C6 \NC $\star$ \NC (Stern); Zeichen fuer spezielle Produkte \NC \NR \stoptabulate \blank \input tufte \stoptext %% -- Johannes Kuester typoma mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.typoma.com ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hi Johannes,
a short example to play for you. The important things are the stretch and
the lines key in \setuplinetable. You should also look at the end of
core-ltb,
it contains a few interresting examples.

Hi Wolfgang,
I already looked at the examples in core-ltb, and on the wiki.
Still linetable does not work in my specific case (with my layout
options etc.), but I can't trace down why it does not.
But linetable seems to have problems in general, when used in columns.
When I try your example with more input lines (thus running over more
than one page), say
%%
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid
\setuplinetable[stretch=yes,lines=fit]
\starttext
\startcolumns
\startlinetable
\dorecurse{180}{\NC Text \NC Text \NC\NR}
\stoplinetable
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
%%
I get a correct left column (on page 1 and 2),
but the right column is three lines too long.
Setting the number of lines:
\setuplinetable[lines=41]
would help for one-line cell entries
(then each column has the correct number of lines on the page),
but in my case with multi-line entries, each such entry is counted as
one line, thus resulting in a too long column.
So, linetable does not do the job.
Back to tabulate, I presume, but tabulate has the strut problem.
Johannes
