Thanks for that tip. But I DO like the \dorecurse(...) version better. I didn't know of this macro. I couldn't survive context with this list! Thanks very much.

Re: [NTG-context] need help with creating a grid with context
Perhaps I ought to tell what I'm expecting :-) ... Hope to create a regular (1cm spacing) grid on page, of bullets. Ultimately over the whole page. The context code supplied produces successive rows with an offset to the right. Have I missed something obvious?

[NTG-context] need help with creating a grid with context
I'm trying to layout a grid of bullets. The results isn't the expected one.
Perhaps someone could offer help here? Thanks.
Here's the sort of thing I'm doing
\setuplayout[leftmargin=0pt, leftmargindistance=0pt, backspace=0pt,
rightmargin=0pt, rightmargindistance=0pt, cutspace=0pt, width=middle,
topspace=0pt, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, footer=0pt, footerdistance=0pt,
bottomspace=0pt, height=middle]
%\showlayout
\starttext
\setuppositioning[unit=cm]
\startpositioning
\newcount\Row
\Row= 0
\loop
{
\newcount\Col
\Col = 0
\loop
\position(\Col, \Row) {$\bullet$}
\ifnum\Col < 14
\advance\Col by 1
\repeat
}
\ifnum\Row < 36
\advance\Row by 1
\repeat
\stoppositioning
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] spreading natural tables across the page
Thankyou, but I'm seeking a little more. This example gives columns of equal
width. I need to be able to control width for each col, viz some I want tight
fitting, others not. Seems that I can do this if I'm explicit about setting
width= per column, but with Latex using "tabular*" I didn't need to set width
explicitly for each col. Does this make sense? If so then howto?
