Thanks a lot that works.
I've a follow up question. I'd like to wrap the `\setgvariable` in a a
paragraph like thing. I found out about annotations, which look like
what I've after.
Though sadly I get an error message (! Undefined control sequence) when
I use annotations. It works when I hard-code a value within the
annotation, but it doesn't if I use the contents of the annotation. I've
also tried it the `\placeannotationcontent` way, but there I get the
same error. Here's the full example:
\starttext
\definelayer [pagenumber][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[pagenumber][{\directsetup{pagenumber}\tightlayer[pagenumber]}]
\startsetups pagenumber
\setlayerframed
[pagenumber]
[preset=rightbottom]
{\getvariable{table}{p}}
\stopsetups
\define[2]\PageWrapper{\setgvariable{table}{p}{#2}}
\usemodule[annotation]
\defineannotation
[pn]
[alternative=command, command=\PageWrapper]
\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[each][each][background=pagenumber]
\bTR
\bTD \startpn b \stoppn multiline \par text \eTD
\bTD \startpn p \stoppn some cell \par with even \par more \par
text \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
Cheers,
Volker
