Thanks Wolfgang. At first glance, it appears to cover the essentials.
I'll need to hack on it for a few days to test the minor requirements that
aren't so obvious in the sample PDF, but this gets me going again.

Multi-page tables
Column headings must repeat on every page
Additional header information is required
I'm having great difficulty finding a table mode that accomplishes
everything I need:
Multi-page: no problem
Repeating headers: no problem
Repeating footers: don't actually need columns in footers, just a
table-wide block containing diagrams and abbreviation footnotes. Must
appear on every page,
Can anyone tell me why this table example is placed on the left margin
on the first page and the right margin on subsequent pages?
My intention is to place against the right margin on all pages.

Is the lack of repeating footers in natural tables due to
implementation difficulties well beyond that for repeating headers or
is the feature considered inappropriate typography?

Is alignmentcharacter available in table macros other than natural tables?
I would prefer to use natural tables but absolutely require a footer
at the bottom of the table on every page.
The footer doesn't need to contain columns - it can be a box the width
of the table.
Any suggestions on

There is no mention of alignmentcharacter anywhere other than for
natural tables, but the wiki is hardly comprehensive.
That's why I'm asking here.

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).
Thks. I must have been lost in space - I
Found it. Thanks again.
I had read it some time ago, but it didn't fully register then - I

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.
Why does the following produce a single line when the layer content
produces four lines in normal flow?
How are paragraphs and new lines produced in layers?
I've tried \par, \endgraf, \crlf and \\ without success.
\definelayer[TicketSummary]
[x=\backspace, y=\topspace
width=4in,
Just tried the following snippet on the live.contextgarden.net with no joy:
The layer content appears on a single line, whether I use \par, \\,
\endgraf, \crlf or no line ending at all.
\definelayer[TicketSummary]
[x=\backspace, y=\topspace
width=4in, height=4in,
repeat=no]
Thks. I was incorrectly assuming that the dimension properties,
especially width, should be set in \definelayer.
I'm not clear on the purpose of a separate \definelayer command,
unless it's to allow the abstraction of layer offsets from topspace
and backspace value, the way I have in this example.

Thanks Wolfgang.
Not quite correct yet, though.
The individual lines in your example are aligned
\setupheadertexts[][{\framed[frame=off,width=fit,align=flushright]{line1\\line

Thks. Works now.
A further minor question:
One of the lines sometimes ends with a period and it would be nice to
have it optically aligned. Is this possible?

I need a multi-line header in the right page corner, with content
right-aligned.
\setupheadertexts[nothing on left][line 1 \par line 2] doesn't work.
Is using a \vbox the correct method of handling this?
If so, how?
