Hi, there was a question in the german TeX newgroupd how create a table with borders on all which allows one to split the content at the end of the page.
Although he used LaTeX I was looking for a ConTeXt solution, splitting the content is possible with tabulate but vertical lines are a problem. A found a solution with textackground but it did only work for the longest column. I guess I can solve it with twopass data but does any of you know a simpler solution. \definetextbackground [tableframe] [background=, location=paragraph, leftoffset=.5em] \starttext \starttabulate[|j0p(2cm)|i0p|] \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
