No, because ConTeXt has no dimension with the name \pagewidth, you couls
use \textwidth for the width of the textblock. Even then your setup is
useless because your table is wider than 2/3 of the textwidth (it is
even
wider than the complete textblock).

I must have been lost in space - I intended to use \paperwidth. -- david ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] Table placement with forced width
Hi all,
I need a table that is 2/3 \pagewidth and placed against the right page margin.
\SetTableToWidth{6in}
\setuptables[split=repeat]
\starttablehead
\NC Description \NC Quantity \NC Units \NC Rate \NC Amount \NC \NR
\HL
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\NC \SL This ticket is not an invoice. Pay on receipt of invoice.
\NC\FOUR \NC\NR
\stoptabletail
\placetable[right,5*line,split=repeat][tab:costs]{}
\starttables[|l|c|c|c|r|]
\NC 1 man unit \NC 4 \NC hr \NC 125.00 \NC 500.00 \NC \NR
\NC Kilometre charges \NC 100 \NC km \NC .85 \NC 85.00 \NC \NR
\NC Field Kit \NC 1 \NC day \NC 50.0 \NC 50.00 \NC \NR
\HL
\NC \bold{Total:} (all work performed on this ticket, before taxes)
\NC\THREE \NC \$ 635.00 \NC \NR
\stoptables
The table flows into, and off the right margin area. What am I doing wrong?
Also, \SetTableToWidth{.67\pagewidth} produces an error. Is there a
way to specify a fraction of \pagewidth?
Even though this example is short, the table may run to multiple pages
and I need both headers and footers to repeat.
I also need to eventually shade alternate row backgrounds.
Is there a better table macro choice?
