So - is there a parameter which represents the current width of the
layout area, taking into account itemisations, textbackgrounds and
anything else? Thanks.
I came up with a rather ugly kludge which solves my immediate problem
but might not be best. I created a new dimen, \RealWidth, and before
each table I set it to the value of \textwidth minus leftskip minus
rightskip. In other words, I did this:
--
\newdimen\RealWidth
\definetextbackground[TestBackground]
[leftoffset=1em,rightoffset=1em,topoffset=8pt,
bottomoffset=8pt,frame=on,location=paragraph]
\starttext
\starttextbackground[TestBackground]
Some text first, which behaves perfectly, and then a table:
\leavevmode\RealWidth=\textwidth\advance\RealWidth
by-\leftskip\advance\RealWidth by-\rightskip\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.3\RealWidth]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.7\RealWidth]
\bTR\bTD I was hoping\eTD
\bTD that this table would make itself narrower according to the
background offsets, like the text does. And now it does!\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE}
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext

This produces what I want as far as I have tested it. I'm not sure it's
the best or most comprehensive solution though.
kind of; an alternative is:
\startlinecorrection % needed anyway
\setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize
\dontleavehmode \bTABLE
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.3\hsize]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.7\hsize]
\bTR\bTD I was hoping\eTD
\bTD that this table would make itself narrower according to the
background offsets, like the text does. And now it does!\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoplinecorrection
auto adaption is kind of tricky here because
