Both \BL and \CL work with MkII but in MkIV \BL gives a black rule
(rather than gray), which \CL gives an error. Hans, any ideas?
For a simple table, you can also use
\startTABLE
\NC .... \NC ... \NC \NR
\NC .... \NC ... \NC \NR
\stopTABLE
which is wrapper around \bTABLE .. \eTABLE.
The color handling in the old table module is implemented by overloading
TaBlE code and quite a hack. In mkiv it's easy to add color support but then
I'd rather remove some of the old commands. In tabulate one can do
(experimental so not enabled by default):
\ctxlua{nodes.tasks.enableaction("shipouts","nodes.handlers.backgrounds")}
\starttabulate[||p||]

\stoptabulate
Can you also add vertical lines and row background colors?
So, if there's interest in the \starttable .. \stoptable mechanism (i have no
idea how often it is used) I can consider weeding and redoing some of that
code (or just rewrite it from scratch which is probably easier).
Personally, I do not like the \starttable ... \stoptable macros (the
patchup with TaBlE macro is too convoluted) and am happy with the compact
\startTABLE syntax. But then, I don't use tables too often anyways.
