Hi Peter,
most of the are also possible with the tabulate environment and I was able
to get a nearly perfect result (a few minor spacing problems) with it.

Re: [NTG-context] table layout
Hi Wolfgang,
nice patch. I just looked at the comparison of the table type
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview). There it says:
tabulate problems: very limited
Add some more stuff and we can change this to 'limited' ;)
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Wolfgang,
what a nice 'minimal' example :)
I'm no table expert, not even an experienced table user. Anyhow, I think
that table is the best choice here. Aside from the bad placing of the
horizontal rules, all is working. This is much more than you can say
from the other candidates.
How about defining your own horizontal rules instead of using the
default \HL ones? See definition of \TableHL and alike in core-tab.tex.
You can define special horizontal lines for all three occurrences, so
spacing should not be a problem.
Donno if this works out of the box (if table accepts such stuff in head
and tail). All untested, as I don't have much time.
try (ugly and old code, works between normal table lines)
\def\betweentable#1{\TABLEnoalign{\nointerlineskip#1\nointerlineskip}}
\TB[small,medium,...] for vertical spacing and
\betweentable{...} for the line (MP line is always nice)
\TB[small]
\betweentable{\hbox{~~~\reuseMPgraphic{EnglishRule}{color=dimgray,width=
81.3mm,height=2pt}}}
\TB[medium]
CHANGE IT HERE
\starttablehead
\HL %
\NC Row 1 \NC Row 2 \NC Row 3 \NC\AR
\HL %
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL %
\stoptabletail
Hope that helps,
Peter

for split.

The wrong spaces after the header and before the footer in the other

are a result of the macro expansion and need also to be solved, because it
is
not possile to insert the right nexrow command (\FR and \LR) in the table
input
without looking at the final pagebreaks. This should be possible with a few
extra
signals after the header and every line and by inserting linecorrection when
the
header, footer and tablebody are combined.

[NTG-context] table layout
Hi,
I try currently to write a table with a repeated header on all pages and
rules above and below the header
and another rule below the table on all pages. I tried this now with all
tables in ConTeXt but I can't the
desired result from any of them.
Tabulate has problems with rule below the header and did not support
repeated footers.
TaBlE has problems with the spacing of his rows below the header and at the
bottom of the tables,
it has also a problem with the spacing from the rule at the bottom.
Natural Tables allow me to put a rule above and below the header but I'm
unable to get rule at last row
on every page, the last key for rows use always the last row of the hole
table.
I played also a little bit with textbackground but I have a few problems
with the results, the background
has always the width of the current textwidth and it takes always the
topskip into account.
What it tried so far is the following code:
\setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape]
