Hi,
I'm new to ConTeXt, but so far most things I wanted to do turned out
to be quite easy. However, now I'm trying to make a particular
section heading, but I can't get it right:
|-|
| SECTION HEADINGKey 1 Value 1 |
| Key 2 Value 2 |
| Key 3 Value 3 |
| Key 4 Value 4 |
| Text Key 5 Value 5 |
|-|
Or in text, a box containing a section heading in the left top, some
additional text in the left bottom, and a table with pairs of values
on the right side of the box.
Getting a box with a section heading and some text was easy enough,
but I couldn't get the table where and how I wanted it. I also tried
to do all of it in a table, but I got errors when trying to put a
\section in the table. Any suggestion on how to do this will be
highly appreciated.
