List:I'm trying to create a table with this effect: Parcel |Area ⎧ | 1 acre trees parcel 1 ⎨ | 2 acre vines ⎩ | 3 acre open ⎧ | 5 acre trees parcel 2 ⎨ | 6 acre vines ⎩ | 4 acre open In other words, I would like a big curly bracket with leftwards point spanning three table rows to tell the reader that the leftmost column's entries apply to a three-row span in the next column (a style often seen in tables in older books). Any suggestions on how I can either make these symbols render, or a different approach to achieve my goal?
As an alternative, have you considered separating the groups by white space. For example:
\starttext \bTABLE[frame=off, loffset=0.5em] \bTH \bTD Parcel \eTD \bTD Area \eTD \eTH \bTR \bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}] Parcel 1 \eTD \bTD 1 acre trees \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 acre vines \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 3 acre open \eTD \eTR \bTR[topdistance=\lineheight] \bTR \bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}] Parcel 2 \eTD \bTD 5 acre trees \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 6 acre vines \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 4 acre open \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Aditya
