Hi all,
I have to build a table which should split over several columns
(probably two) and, if necessary, across pages.
I have tried this with
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=3]
\setupTABLE[split=yes]
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD Head \eTD \bTD Head~2
Hi again,
as dicussed some time ago, here comes the reminder of what context lacks
concerning table typesetting. I will concentrate on \bTABLE .. \eTABLE,
since it is much more powerful than the older ones (and I do not know
much about linetables).
In order to be able to typeset tables with

Hi all,
when I change inline MP graphics, these are not recreated during the

Hi,
concerning m-units, it would be nice to configure whether to use a full

space is needed between adjectant units like in 1\Meter\Inverse\Second.
I know there are some old threads concerning this topic, initiated by
me. But
Thanks for the tips, Hans and Peter. I can see that it is really easy to
hack a quick and dirty working solution.
But since many of my figures and my gnuplot input will have to be
created by external programs anyway, I think I will better use a
Makefile to ensure recreation as needed.

I wonder what would be the best way to use programs inline like it is
