Hi,
Is it possible to put a table in another table?
IIRC, putting the nested table in a buffer should work, but
maybe it is good enough to just add a brace group around it:
\bTD { \bTABLE ... \eTABLE } \eTD
Best wishes,
Taco

Yes:
\starttext
\bTABLE \bTR \bTD
{\bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE}
\eTD \eTR \eTABLE
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] TABLE in TABLE
Thanks all of you.
In other kind of ideas: is it a bug? Why we need {} for embed tables and
not for embed itemizes in itemizes for example?
Please CCme

It has to do with the way how TABLE is implemented, each cell is defined as
\def\bTD#1\eTD{...}
this means when TeX sees a \bTD in the input it grabs everything till
the \eTD,
let's take a loo at this example
\bTABLE \bTR
\bTD
\bTABLE \bTR
\bTD text \eTD
\eTR \eTABLE
\eTD
\eTR \eTABLE
The \bTD from the outer table reads everything till the \eTD from the
inner table
and what ends up as real content for the table cell where you wanted
another table is
\bTABLE \bTR
\bTD text
As you can see the \bTD as delimiting \eTD to end the cell and this is what
cause the error message you get. The braces ({...}) as suggested from
the others
help in this case because the hide the \eTD from the outer table and buffers
as suggested from Taco are another way to get around this.

I had the same idea, but I used \bgroup and \egroup instead of {}, and that
does not work. Strange...

not if you imagine that we have
\def\bTABLE[#1==options]#2\eTABLE
and something #2 can handle {nested stuff} but in the case of a \bgroup
it means that #2==\bgroup etc etc
