Good point, in the actual case there were two columns, a name and a number. The reason for using the table is align the name to the left and the number to the right. So a more realistic example is something like \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[c][2][align=left] \dorec

[NTG-context] split natural table over columns
