Thank you, Wolfgang! Much to my delight, \startembeddedxtable works indeed, however, when I increase the number of arguments up to 10 --- to use the simplest example possible, without any tables: \define[10]\myText{#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10} --- it doesn't work again (works fine with 9

..Alas, I was too hasty to congratulate myself as it obviously doesn't work as intended (the arguments in the nested function get hard-coded and are of no use). :) So I'm still looking forward for ConTeXt masters to enlighten me. Kind regards, Pavel. 2013/12/11 Pavel Stupin

That was the file I already looked at. But it does not contain no logic to format those dates. If I search for all commas in that file, none of them are used to format dates. Thanks for the pointer but it does not solve my case. Cheers, Steffen Am 09.12.2013 um 16:57 schrieb Alan BRASLAU

Dear ConTeXt-Users, I want to use counters in tables. But incrementing counters in tables doesn’t work as expected. For example, when I typeset the following example, I get numbers between 80 and 119, I would expect numbers between 0 and 39. How can I get the desired numbers?
